Synopsis
Prendrick, a survivor of a shipwreck, is picked up by a schooner bound for Noble's Isle. On the island, Prendrick encounters the Beast People, roughly human but with animalistic traits. It turns out that Dr. Moreau, a scientist who came to the island years before, has been developing animals into humans with the help of his assistant Montgomery. When Moreau is killed, the Beast People revert and their world becomes utterly chaotic. Prendrick, while imagining himself to remain a cut above the Beast People, becomes somewhat bestial himself. He is rescued from the island, but cannot shake off the perverse vision of the Beast People as he continues his life among men.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "I do not propose to add anything to what has already been written concerning the loss of the "Lady Vain." As everyone knows, she collided with a derelict when ten days out from Callao."
Industry Reviews
"'The Island of Dr. Moreau' takes us into an abyss of human nature. This book is a superb piece of storytelling."
Publisher's Catalog - V. S. Pritchett
"The energetic and remarkably flexible imagination of the author of 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' has certainly put into form for public entertainment more horrible ideas than any other imagination now employed in supplying the market for imaginative wares. Mr. Wells's powers are not all confined to the horrible, of course. He has fancied and thought out many impossible things, which have been rather pleasing to read about. But it is in horrible ideas that he excels. 'The Island of Dr. Moreau,' for example, is full of strange power....[It is a] vividly wrought fantasy worthy of a legitimate successor in the field of story telling of Poe and his literary prototype, Hofman, of Gautier (in his fantastical moods) and Stevenson when he permitted his nightmares to control his pen."
