About this audiobook

Industrial smoke, moonlit steel, and one fatal invitation. In H.G. Wells’s searing tale of jealousy and betrayal, a celebrated artist is lured by the ironworks manager on a midnight tour through roaring furnaces and shuddering machinery. What begins as chilly politeness becomes a cat‑and‑mouse descent toward the blast furnace’s ominous cone—where rage, guilt, and vengeance ignite in unforgettable horror. Merrie Lynn Eaker’s vivid performance amplifies the clangor and heat of the works, the suffocating haze of steam and soot, and the psychological duel between two men bound for a catastrophic reckoning. A compact masterclass in tension and atmosphere, The Cone fuses industrial realism with gothic dread to deliver a shocking finale that lingers long after the last ember fades. Perfect for a single-sitting listen and for fans of classic psychological horror.
