H. G. Wells’s science fiction classic: the dark and captivating story of 1 man’s battle for success against the lab-made nightmares of a mad scientist

Shipwrecked and empty, Edward Prendick cautiously steps ashore a remote island in the Pacific. Though wary, Prendick can be unacquainted with the horrors that await him right here. But what appears at first to be a typical volcanic island gradually reveals itself to end up being the macabre workshop of maligned London physiologist Dr. Moreau. Moreau’s genius had been celebrated far and wide until the accurate character of his function was exposed. Right now secluded on his isle, Moreau engages unimpeded in gruesome experiments of vivisection, splicing pet and man collectively in a terrifying display of his dominion over nature. When Prendick realizes he’s slated to be the next subject on Moreau’s grisly medical desk, he flees towards the jungle—where all manner of unnatural creatures abound .
