The Story Of The Late Mr. Elvesham

Imagine waking up in a stranger's decaying body - and realize your own youth has been stolen… Edward Eden, a penniless young medical student in Victorian London, thinks his desperate prayers have been answered when a shadowy, immensely wealthy old philosopher offers to make him sole heir to a vast fortune. The inheritance comes with only one strange condition: a celebratory, late-night toast with a bizarre pink powder. When the nightmare clears, he opens his eyes to a horrific reality. His smooth skin is replaced by withered folds; his young voice by a raspy, senile gasp. The brilliant Egbert Elvesham didn't just pass on his wealth - he executed a diabolical exchange. Now, Edward is trapped in a dying frame, while a monster walks the streets wearing his face, living his life, and enjoying his future. H.G. Wells weaves a haunting, psychological nightmare of body-stealing greed and stolen identity. Press play now and discover if youth can ever be reclaimed!
