About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Mr. Bessel, a respectable London businessman with a passion for psychic research, resolves to prove that the human spirit can leave its body at will. One November evening, he succeeds — projecting his consciousness out of his flesh to appear before a fellow experimenter across town. But the moment his spirit slips free, something else is waiting. Torn from his own body and adrift in a howling void thronged with envious, watching things, Bessel can only look on as the intruder wearing his face rampages through the streets of London, wild-eyed and violent. To reclaim what was stolen, he must find a way back from a realm whose inhabitants have no intention of letting him go. A chilling blend of Victorian psychic science and genuine cosmic horror, "The Stolen Body" shows Wells at his darkest — asking what happens when the door between worlds opens in both directions.
