The Island Of Dr. Moreau

The Island Of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells is a classic in literature, but man it is kinda sick as well.  The story is that a man is ship wreaked and finds what a appears to be a deserted island.  The island though is not deserted it is inhabitied but a different sort of population.  Dr. Moreau and an associate has been conducting experiments on animals attempting to transform them into humans.  This is not cloneing but rather a weird sort gene combination experiemnts not on embryos in test tubes but rather developed animals.  Kinda sick i just had to see it through to the end.
