The Island of Doctor Moreau by H. G. Wells
A shipwrecked man finds himself on an isolated island run by a mad scientist who has been conducting disturbing experiments, transforming animals into human-like beings through vivisection. The man must navigate this horrifying new reality while trying to maintain his own humanity and sanity, in a world where the line between beast and man is blurred. The narrative is a chilling exploration of the nature of humanity, the ethics of science, and the dangers of playing God.
