"The Stolen Bacillus and Other Incidents" by H. G. Wells is a collection of fifteen short stories written between 1893 and 1895. Published in 1895 as Wells's first short story collection, these fantasy and science fiction tales explore strange orchids, mysterious bacilli, diamond makers, and exotic islands. Each story presents curious incidents where the ordinary collides with the extraordinary. From laboratories to observatories, from burglaries to taxidermists, Wells crafts brief glimpses into worlds where scientific marvels and human ambitions intersect in unexpected ways.
