H. G. Wells’s classic of early science fiction about a mad scientist who creates human/animal hybrids, now repackaged for Union Square and Co.’s Signature Editions series.
Shipwrecked on an island, Edward Prendrick finds that he has wandered into a nightmare created by the mad scientist, Dr. Moreau.
