The Island of Doctor Moreau: A Science Fiction Horror Classic - Genetic Experiments and Moral Chaos (Deluxe Hardbound Edition) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781806290598)

Long before genetic engineering was possible, H. G. Wells imagined its horror. On Moreau's isolated island, panthers speak, boars walk upright, and a mad doctor crowns himself god. As Prendick uncovers each abomination, he must decide whether monstrosity lies in the lab-or in every beating heart.
