The Door in the Wall by H.G. Wells
4.0
The door in the wall is a short volume collection three short stories by H.G. Wells. These are "The door in the wall", "The Sea Raiders", and "The Moth".
Of the stories in this volume, I enjoyed "The door in the wall" the most. I loved the sense of lost opertunity, the question if it was real, the commentary on the way the preasure of adulthood and life and achievement robs us of the simple pleasure of existing.
"The Sea Raiders" is a more typical story from the sea monster genre - featuing a man who stumbles upon flesh eating sea creatures. A great threat of suspense in this story.
"The Moth" is a little slow to start but the ending is great. The character is a scientist who's scientific rivalry comes back to bite him in the worst way possible.
