The buying of orchids always has in it a certain speculative flavour. You have before you the brown shrivelled lump of tissue, and for the rest you must trust your judgment, or the auctioneer, or your good-luck, as your taste may incline. The plant may be moribund or dead, or it may be just a respectable purchase, fair value for your money, or perhaps-for the thing has happened again and again-there slowly unfolds before the delighted eyes of the happy purchaser, day after day, some new variety, some novel richness, a strange twist of the labellum, or some subtler colouration or unexpected mimicry. Pride, beauty, and profit blossom together on one delicate green spike, and, it may be, even immortality. For the new miracle of Nature may stand in need of a new specific name, and what so convenient as that of its discoverer? "Johnsmithia"! There have been worse names.

Thirty Strange Stories, an anthology of H.G. Wells's weird fiction, collects many of the stories that he wrote for popular journals of the day, prior to penning his groundbreaking science fiction novels. They are our first glimpses of his fertile imagination, and, for the most part, they do not disappoint. Though, to modern readers, the stories mostly hover about the low end on the weirdness scale, these are tightly-written little gems from the earliest efforts of one of giants of the genre. It must be noted that some stories have racist language, with a few exhibiting some truly virulent and awful racism. Throughout the stories, which contain elements of the supernatural, science fiction, horror, and fantasy, readers will note Wells's meticulous attention to light and color as tools to highlight and shade his scenes. In particular, he clearly demonstrates a fascination with both the scientific and purely aesthetic qualities of phosphorescence, its unique light and color flecked across many of the tales.
