Wells’ classic 1896 sci-fi-horror classic, “The Island of Doctor Moreau.” This isn’t simply a sequel or updating instead, Moreno-Garcia has drawn elements from the original novel and created something wholly original, powerful and thrilling on every level. Moreno-Garcia’s new novel, “The Daughter of Doctor Moreau” was inspired by H.G. Her works are unified by the quality of her prose, her care for her characters and her restless, seemingly boundless imagination. It’s not just a matter of genre - the Vancouver writer has published a hard-boiled noir, a gothic novel, a mythic fiction and a belle epoque fantasy, among others, in the last five years alone - but how she plays within those genres, following tropes and structures while simultaneously subverting those very conventions. One of the great pleasures of following the writing of Silvia Moreno-Garcia is the element of surprise one never knows what a new novel might bring.
