Herbert George 'H. G.' Wells (September 21, 1866 – August 13, 1946) was a prolific English writer in many genres. He is sometimes called the “Father of Science Fiction.” His stories have been filmed many times. His best-known classics are The Time Machine (1895), one of the first modern science fiction stories, The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898). Wells wrote over a hundred books, about fifty of them novels. Pollock and the Porroh Man is a ghostly and gory tale much in the spirit of Edgar Allan Poe, but seasoned with macabre black humor. Narrator Edward E. French is an Oscar nominated and Emmy Award winning Special Effects Makeup Artist. Email: edwardfrench06@hotmail.com.
