Publisher Description
Shipwreck survivor Edward Prendick finds refuge on a remote island, only to discover the horrifying experiments of the enigmatic Dr. Moreau. Here, Moreau plays god, transforming animals into grotesque, human-like creatures through vivisection. As Prendick uncovers the truth behind Moreau's "Beast Folk," he confronts the ethical limits of science and the thin line between man and beast. A chilling exploration of morality, evolution, and the perils of playing with nature.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Mondello Publishing provides an updated adaptation of H. G. Wells's classic novel, positioning the story in the 1950s and in the context of genetic mutation and nuclear power. Through uncontrollable events, Edward Prendick finds himself on an unmarked island with Montgomery, a scientist and aid to the notorious Dr. Moreau. Prendick soon discovers that the island's wild-life is a bit more human than he's comfortable with. The full cast of clear and distinctive voice actors includes Matthew Postner as Prendick, Nathalie Boltt as Montgomery, and Andrew McGinn as Moreau. Other actors fill in for secondary characters and humanoid animals, which the production captures well, providing each character with strong vocal cues to help the listener understand what kind of animal it is. The background music and sound effects further enhance the mood and tone of the production. (BookLife)
