The War of the Worlds
Wells drops Martian cylinders into the English countryside and watches ordinary roads fail. The War of the Worlds invented the modern invasion story without needing spaceship chrome. The public-domain text is brisk, visual, and grim in a way later films still copy. Read it on FreeReadsy, then keep the EPUB for the chapters after the first heat-ray.
