 | The Island of Dr. Moreau by Eric Vincent, H. G. Wells, Jim Killavey, Leon Stover, Michael Moorcock
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. AUTHOR: Eric Vincent, H. G. Wells, Jim Killavey, Leon Stover, Michael Moorcock
