About the book
When science crosses the line, the results are monstrous…
Shipwrecked and stranded on a remote island, Edward Prendick discovers the disturbing domain of Doctor Moreau, a brilliant but ruthless scientist. In his hidden laboratory, Moreau conducts grotesque experiments—using vivisection and strange biological methods to transform animals into human-like beings.
As Prendick learns more about the Beast Folk and their creator, he is drawn into a chilling struggle for survival, morality, and sanity. First published in 1896, The Island of Doctor Moreau blends gothic horror, adventure, and cutting-edge science of its time, raising enduring questions about the nature of humanity, the limits of morality, and the dangers of unrestrained ambition.
