New on Libivox a free reading of “The Cone” by H.G. Wells. Regular readers of this blog will recall the local Stoke-on-Trent setting of the Basford Bank / and the ironworks (not yet a steelworks) at Etruria. I have a fully annotated version of this this macabre revenge tale, to be found in my book H.G. Wells in the Potteries.

As with all Librivox audio readings, this one is in the public domain (i.e. is free to re-use in any way you want).
