- Summary:
- Though first published in 1895, this eerily prescient science-fiction novella contains the first-ever description of what an atomic explosion might look like. Often compared by critics to masterworks such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and H.G. Wells' The Island of Dr. Moreau , Robert Cromie's The Crack of Doom explores the dangers of unfettered scientific experimentation.
