Description

Stranded on a mysterious island, Edward Prendick finds himself at the mercy of the enigmatic Dr. Moreau, a scientist with a dark past and a penchant for the most sinister of experiments. Rescued from the wreckage of his ship, Prendick soon discovers that he is not alone on the island, and that the creatures that inhabit it are as much a product of Dr. Moreau's twisted genius as they are of the natural world. As Prendick navigates the treacherous landscape of the island, he begins to uncover the full extent of Dr. Moreau's depraved experiments, and the true horror that lies at the heart of his research. With no escape in sight, Prendick must confront the darkness that surrounds him, and the evil that lurks at the very heart of the island. This edition of The Island of Dr. Moreau includes a newly established text, a full biographical essay on the author, and detailed notes to enhance your understanding of this influential work.
