The Island of Dr Moreau by H.G. Wells
Rushing forward in time (and genre), we read H.G. Wells' terrifying 1896 novella, The Island of Dr Moreau. In this episode, we discuss features of early 19th to early 20th-century science fiction, the biological theories of Darwin and Huxley, the morality of religion and science, the ethics of pain, the evolution of social hierarchy, figures of monstrosity, and how scared we were reading this book!
