The Infinite Worlds of H.G. Wells

"The New Accelerator" is set in 1895 London at Imperial College where lights switch on and off, lab animals and machinery disappear and a cricket ball passes through solid brick. In "Brownlow's Newspaper," a railroad worker's life is abruptly and irrevocably turned upside down when he gets electrocuted into the past, with a newspaper from the future in his pocket.

"The Crystal Egg" tells of a pawn shop owner who finds the most magnificent crystal imaginable. But when a silver of moonlight strikes the crystal at precisely the right angle, it begins to glow from the inside. In "The Remarkable Case of Davidson's Eyes," a scientific experiment goes horribly wrong and a young man begins to suffer from delusions.

"The Truth About Pyecraft" focuses on two men: one who wants to lose weight and one who wants to reverse his hair loss. They take their angst to a magic shop where they're given potions to fix their esteem and repair their vanity. In "The Stolen Bacillus," a terrorist steals a flask of bacillus and pours it into the city reservoir.
