Interesting. A few years ago, I went hunting for Wells' inspiration for the Morlock name and couldn't find it anywhere. And I've never heard any anti-Serbian propaganda. That's probably more common in Europe.

Using your information, I did some googling. The words are spelled differently in English: Morlach and Morlock. Some people have wondered if the Morlachs were Wells' inspiration for Morlocks, but I'm inclined to think Wells was inspired by the Biblical Moloch, in the same way his Eloi were inspired by Elohim. Did Wells ever write anything anti-Serbian?

I am glad you mentioned this. It inspired by latest post, which I hope well help clarify the reason for my name.
