In H.G. Wells’s celebrated ghost story, an intrepid and self-confident young man resolves to spend the night in a room which is reportedly haunted by a malevolent spirit, determined to disprove the legend. The story begins at 00:01:20 **Note for returning listeners: This is a new recording of a story previously available on the channel.

(Herbert George) Wells (1866–1946) was an English writer prolific in many genres. He was born in Bromley, Kent, the fourth and youngest child of former domestic servants turned shopkeepers. When the shop struggled financially, Wells was apprenticed as a draper – an unhappy experience, which he later used in novels such as 'The History of Mr. Polly' and 'Kipps'. He was released from apprenticeship to become a pupil-teacher at Midhurst Grammar School, which allowed him to self-educate and work his way via a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in London. He began writing by contributing short articles to periodicals such as The Pall Mall Gazette. As an author, Wells is perhaps best remembered today for his science fiction – he is regarded as one of the founders of the genre, and many of his works have achieved the status of classics, including The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897) and The War of the Worlds (1898). From a young age Wells was an active socialist, and his later writing moved away from science fiction and tackled wider social and political themes, in novels such as 'Tono-Bungay' (1909) and 'The History of Mr. Polly' (1910). He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature several times. 'The Red Room' first appeared in the March 1896 issue of 'The Idler'. It's especially notable that Wells himself – like the narrator – was an avowed sceptic of the idea of ghosts and hauntings; it's possible the story may have been intended to some extent as a send-up or attack on the genre; but it's a powerfully and concisely written tale and, whether satire or not, 'The Red Room' has gone on to become one of the most anthologised Victorian ghost stories.
