The Island of Dr. Moreau

Have you ever wondered why humanity fears the unchecked power of science?

The Island of Dr. Moreau is H.G. Wells's chilling masterpiece of science fiction and horror, a prophetic warning about the ethical limits of scientific discovery. When Edward Prendick finds himself shipwrecked and cast ashore on a mysterious island, he hopes for salvation. Instead, he finds a living nightmare. The island is ruled by the enigmatic Dr. Moreau and his alcoholic assistant, Montgomery, who preside over a strange population of "Beast Folk"-animals painfully sculpted into human form and forced to obey a rigid, chant-like Law to suppress their primal instincts.

As the cries of the "House of Pain" echo through the jungle, Prendick is forced to confront the darkest depths of human ambition. Moreau plays God with surgical steel, indifferent to the suffering he inflicts in the name of progress. But the line between man and monster is thinner than Moreau believes, and the fragile order he has constructed is destined to collapse in violence and blood.
