Clearly a potent idea, and very impressive to me that Wells wrote this pre-1900 with such a basis in (theoretical) science. Would have been an excellent short story, especially if the reveal wasn't given away in the title!
As a horror novel with a full cast and sprawling setting... there's just nothing here for me. DNF at 25%.

A blend of sci-fi, some mystery, and an insight into human behavior in the face of the unknown. The premise seemed quite promising, yet the book didn't live up to its full potential.
