The Island of Doctor Moreau

Shipwrecked and alone, Edward Prendick finds himself on a remote island ruled by the enigmatic Dr. Moreau. As Prendick uncovers the doctor’s twisted experiments, blending humans with animals, he’s drawn into a world of ethical horror. Wells’ haunting tale explores the boundaries of science and morality, leaving me questioning the nature of humanity. The vivid descriptions of the Beast Folk still give me chills, reminding us how thin the line between man and beast truly is.

Room

Jack lives in Room with Ma. It’s all he’s ever known—eleven square feet of space, with only a skylight to glimpse the outside world. Ma says it’s to keep them safe, but Jack doesn’t understand from what. As he turns five, his curiosity grows, and Ma realizes they can’t stay forever. A heart-wrenching tale of love, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between mother and child, “Room” explores the power of imagination and the strength of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable circumstances.
