Shipwrecked, rescued, and stranded on a remote island in the middle of nowhere, young Englishman Edward Prendick encounters the mysterious Dr. Moreau. Initially grateful to his savior, he gradually discovers that something strange is happening on the island. His distrust of the inhabitants grows. When horrific creatures, half human and half animal, appear, escape seems inevitable. First published in 1896, H. G. Wells' thrilling novel still evokes chilling discomfort today. This edition is enhanced by the hauntingly beautiful woodcuts by Nicole Riegert. A tale that will send shivers down your spine! Following "Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams" and "The Bride of the Vampire," "The Island of Dr. Moreau" is the third illustrated work by Nicole Riegert published by the Kunstanstifter.
