The Island of Doctor Moreau (Vintage Classics Sci-Fi range)
Author(s): H. G. Wells
They say that terror is a disease...A shipwrecked man finds himself, after various twists of Fate, on a lonely tropical island. From a locked enclosure the cries of animals in pain can be heard, and there is a stink of chemicals in the air. Bestial faces stare out of the forests and grotesque, misshaped creatures move in the gloom. In this island paradise, the horrific experiments of the infamous Doctor Moreau will reach their inevitable conclusion.

Beware the House of Pain!" The Times "A grisly Darwinian heart-of-darkness fantasy" Daily Telegraph "A master writer" Guardian
