Moreauson

1887. On an uncharted island somewhere in the Pacific, a discredited biologist conducts gruesome experiments on living creatures, with results that defy belief and blur the lines between man and beast.What would happen if one of his creations were to escape?Moreauson is the tale of Cui, a young canine approximated into a human of sorts by one of science fiction's most notorious villains. In this new take on an old classic, escaping the clutches of his "creator" is only the beginning. Casting his fortunes to sea, Cui washes ashore upon a new island, home to a leper colony and its 138 afflicted souls. But a far more sinister force has also made landfall, and Cui will have to confront not only human prejudice, superstition and fear, but also one of mankind's most determined enemies if he is to make it out alive.Part supernatural thriller, part gothic romance, Moreauson puts a fresh spin on one of speculative fiction's most enduring explorations of what it means to be human.
