Synopsis

A comet is headed at the earth.

History

First publication: December 1839 Burton's Gentleman’s Magazine

Review

This is a true science fiction story and an end of the world story. I feel certain that it was an influence on both The Star and In the Days of the Comet by H. G. Wells. Excellent story.
