Book Club: The Island of Dr. Moreau
Clare and Hannah read H. G. Wells’ The Island of Dr. Moreau, and discuss universal themes like the hubris of science, the true nature of humanity, and their uncanny ability to shoehorn a C. S. Lewis shout-out into any discussion!
Additional Resources:
The Island of Dr. Moreau by H. G. Wells is available at bookstores and libraries everywhere, and is FREE on the Internet at Project Gutenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/159.

Clare is an independent author who would love it if you checked out her books! If you like exciting thrillers featuring an “everyman” hero who rises to his or her full potential in the face of peril—-you might enjoy The Keys of Death. It’s a veterinary medical thriller about a small-town animal doctor who gets tangled up in a whistle-blowing scheme against a big biotech company. Or, if you prefer shorter fiction, try Startling Figures, a collection of three paranormal stories.
