All of your questions answered

Hi there, I’m Joshua!

Welcome to Daily War of the Worlds, a project I created to deliver H.G. Wells’ classic alien invasion story The War of the Worlds to your inbox every morning — one chapter a day!

Most emails will take 5-7 minutes to read.

Believe it or not, it will take less than a month to read the entire novel this way.
