The Star by H. G. Wells - Sci-Fi Short Story From the 1800s

As a mysterious star hurtles toward Earth, bringing with it unprecedented chaos and destruction, humanity grapples with the impending apocalypse and the uncertain fate of their world. Amidst the turmoil, a diverse array of individuals—from scientists to lovers, from scholars to refugees—navigate the cataclysmic events and search for meaning in the face of annihilation. The Star by H. G. Wells, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

H. G. Wells isn’t new to the podcast and there are more of his stories on the way. This short story was written during a rather remarkably productive time for Wells, a year after The Island of Doctor Moreau, the same year as The Invisible Man and a year before The War of the Worlds. From 1897 an apocalyptic tale you won't soon forget, The Star by H. G. Wells…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, In a future where fate is determined by Predictable Life-Lines, Dr. Jules Craig wrestles with the ethical dilemma of revealing a patient's grim destiny while concealing his own. As he grapples with the weight of his own experiment to alter his predicted future, a chilling revelation threatens to unravel his sanity and reshape his understanding of destiny. You Are Forbidden by Jerry Shelton.
