Story Plot

A shipwreck survivor named Edward Prendick finds himself stranded on a remote island somewhere along the South Seas. This island is home to the mysterious scientist Dr. Herbert G. Moreau, his estranged assistant Montgomery Kenton, and a peaceful if yet playful native named Lota, who begins to fall for Edward as the days go by. Edward soon finds out, however, that this island is home to more than just those three. An entire colony run by Moreau, all wearing clay animal masks. As Edward discovers the shocking and sickening truth behind Moreau's experiments, he and Lota might find that their bond between each other may prove stronger than Moreau ever anticipated... even if Lota isn't what she seems to be.

  • "Woman, animal, monster, whatever you actually are, what you are to me is an angel. For as long as either of us live, panther, not a panther, or half a panther, I will love you to the very end, Lota. Nothing anyone says can separate us from each other. I know that may sound a bit questioning, believe me, I'm a bit reluctant myself, but you were sent on this planet to love, and on this island, there is no one else whom you love more than me, and who I love more than you. Somehow, strangely, i feel as if we were made for each other." -Edward Prendick, Mr. Blue's Dark Universe
