The Moth

In H. G. Wells’s haunting tale The Moth, scientific rivalry turns to psychological horror in a chilling study of obsession and guilt.

When the proud entomologist Hapley destroys the reputation of his longtime nemesis, Professor Pawkins, the victory proves fatal — Pawkins dies shortly after the public humiliation. But Hapley’s triumph curdles into torment when a strange moth begins to appear in his study… a moth no one else can see.

Is it the ghost of his rival returned for revenge, or the unraveling of a fevered mind?

Set in the dim lamplight of Victorian science, The Moth is a masterful descent into madness — part ghost story, part psychological dissection — from one of the founding fathers of modern speculative fiction.

Narrated by Myriam Berger, this performance brings eerie intimacy to Wells’s portrait of intellectual pride, guilt, and the thin line between reason and insanity.
