From the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic and
Velvet Was the Night comes a dreamy reimagining of The Island of
Doctor Moreau set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century
Mexico. 'The deeply atmospheric novel blends horror, science
fiction, and historical events' Time, 100 'Must Read Books of 2022'
Carlota Moreau: growing up in a distant and luxuriant estate, safe
from the conflict and strife of the Yucatan peninsula, she is the
only daughter of an eccentric, and dangerous, genius. His
experiments, a motley group of hybrid monstrosities, are blindly
loyal to their creator. Into Carlota's strange but perfectly
balanced world comes Eduardo Lizalde, the charming, careless son of
Doctor Moreau's patrons. In the sweltering heat of the jungle,
amidst her father's secrets and her own awakening feelings, Carlota
will begin asking questions that could ignite a conflagration.
______________________ 'Genius . . . combine[s] contemporary
political awareness with the appeal of a creepy gothic romance' -
Guardian 'An evocative slow-burn SF drama about colonialism,
heredity and scientific hubris, couched in lush prose' - Financial
Times 'The imagination of Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a thing of
wonder, restless and romantic, fearless in the face of genre,
embracing the polarities of storytelling' - New York Times 'Paints
a vivid picture that is as alluring as it is unsettling, filled
with action, romance, and monsters' Booklist
