Terror rises from the deep in this gripping maritime horror from the master of early science fiction. 
When a retired tea-dealer named Mr. Fison takes a casual afternoon walk along the cliffs of Sidmouth, he expects nothing more than sea breeze and sunshine. Instead, he becomes the first living witness to a new species — a swarm of massive, intelligent, and shockingly aggressive cephalopods known as Haploteuthis ferox. What begins as curiosity quickly spirals into a frantic fight for survival as these tentacled predators crawl out of the surf, hunt along the tide pools, and launch deadly attacks on boats, swimmers, and the unprepared towns along the coast. 
Blending scientific speculation with relentless suspense, H. G. Wells delivers a chilling tale of nature unchecked — a reminder that the ocean still holds secrets powerful enough to swallow humanity whole. With vivid performances by narrator Salathiel Reagan, this classic short story comes alive with atmospheric dread and pulse-pounding tension. 
Perfect for fans of sea monsters, Victorian horror, and classic speculative fiction.

Gulli Danda is the story of the annals of time that reverberates in our deep consciousness, where both joy and sadness of the bygone days nurture our memories of the time spent well and its association. Humans outgrow their past, but that past remains rooted in their psyche and keeps drawing them back into its fold as their hearts try to reclaim the magical touch of the moments well past. 
In this story, legendary litterateur Munshi Premchand, with his characteristic empathetic writing skill, weaves together two yesteryear friends from distinctly differing socio-economic backgrounds. The story unfolds like a thought experiment as it probes the bonding of the two primitive hearts through the filter of social status and class standing in the present. Need we say this literary gem is a collector's souvenir as a testament to a prolific writer's contribution to Hindi literature?
