A tight, edgy ,visual sequel to HG Wells dark fantasy/ horror book The Island of Dr. Moreau, written by novice author Robert Butsch.
It's no easy task to write a worthy sequel to a stand alone work by a famous modern writer. Robert Butsch has simultaneously paid homage to Mr. Wells ,and given us a good read. His style is spot on; he works with no help other than a cryptic reference to a nephew, "C. Prendick" in the original novel.
Give it a go. You won't've wasted your time.
