that h.g. wells book sounds more relatable than i remember - should check it out soon, lol.
i remember really enjoying the atmosphere of "the mystery of edwin drood", though i can't recall if it was an edition that simply did not have any of the proposed endings or if it collected a few of them. it may have been the one with a preface by a dickens scholar (ackroyd) and an appendix by g.k. chesterton outlining different theories about what dickens might have planned.
