The Story of the Late Mr. Elvesham by H.G. Wells | Audiobook
Edward Eden, a poor but ambitious medical student, thinks nothing of a chance encounter with a peculiar elderly gentleman—until the man makes an astonishing proposition: to leave all his wealth to a deserving young heir. The only requirements? A few harmless formalities, a little trust... and perhaps just a dash of strange powder.
What begins as an unbelievable stroke of fortune soon spirals into a waking nightmare that defies logic and science. For not all gifts are blessings—and some doors, once opened, cannot be closed.
