The Island of Doctor Moreau by H.G. Wells
Spooky & Strange
10/25/21 • 6 min
5.0
"It was as if all the pain in the world had found a voice."
Aurelien took a short trip to "The Island of Doctor Moreau" (1896) by H.G. Wells. It's an unfortunately readable classic about brutality, ego, torture, and humanity.
To paraphrase Hobbes: it was nasty, brutal, and not short enough.
