Summary
In the middle of the southern seas, on a desolate shore battered by waves, human will knows no bounds. An unlucky sailor who survived a shipwreck finds himself on an isolated patch of land where the laws of nature have long since been abandoned. In this dark sci-fi and horror atmosphere created by Erle C. Kenton, sounds rising from the mad doctor’s laboratory—the island’s ruler—pierce the silence of the night. In this landscape where genetic experiments have blurred the lines between human and animal, the helplessness of being trapped is felt in every cell. As the shadows of human-animal hybrids lurk around every corner, the price of playing God is paid dearly by the inhabitants of this strange island.
