Synopsis
A quiet English country village is disturbed by the arrival of a mysterious stranger who keeps his face hidden and his back to everyone., After learning how to make himself invisible by scientifically making the body transparent, Griffin burns his room, takes to the countryside and proceeds to try and terrorize and overpower people. But he is not as terrifying as he thought, and his visions of dominance soon crumble. He unsuccessfully attempts to reverse the invisibility, and then the townspeople erupt against him. Griffin tries to strike back, but the odds are against him; a hobo has stolen his notes and his old friend Dr. Kemp--perceiving that Griffin does not wish to use his discovery for the purposes of good--has laid a trap with the police.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The stranger came early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year, over the down, walking as it seemed from Bramblehurst railway station, and carried a little black portmanteau in his thickly gloved hand. He was wrapped up from head to foot, and the brim of his soft felt hat hid every inch of his face but the skinny tip of his nose, the snow had piled itself against his shoulders and chest, and added a white crest to the burden he carried. He staggered into the coach and horses, more dead than alive as it seemed, and flung his portmanteau down. "A fire," he cried, "in the name of human charity! A room and a fire!""
Industry Reviews
"This is scientific fiction, we suppose, but there is nothing in it about Mars. The hero is a very disagreeable person whose invisibility gives him unlimited opportunity for indulging his bad temper....The story is ingenious and in certain passages is genuinely dramatic; but the scientific machinery is not very delicately constructed and the imagination of the reader is decidedly overtaxed."
