About this audiobook
High above Borneo’s jungle canopy, a young astronomer settles in for a routine night charting the Milky Way—until the heavens go dark. When a massive, leathery-winged creature forces its way through the observatory dome, Woodhouse is plunged into total blackout and a savage fight for survival. With only a shattered water bottle as a weapon, he battles tooth and claw in a claustrophobic duel that leaves the floor slick with blood and his faith in reason shaken. By dawn, he’s alive—but forever changed, chastened by the reminder that Earth still hides terrors science cannot name.
H. G. Wells’s In the Avu Observatory is a razor-tense blend of scientific wonder and primal fear, set on a remote mountaintop where cosmic ambition meets the raw, predatory night. Mathew Guldner’s vivid narration amplifies every jungle whisper, wingbeat, and gasp, capturing the lonely awe of stargazing and the sudden, suffocating terror of a creature in the dark. It’s swift, immersive, and unforgettable—perfect for listeners who love classic weird fiction, creature horror, and atmospheric adventures at the edge of the unknown.
Press play and step into the dome—where the stars glitter overhead and something hungry circles within.
