The Daughter of Doctor Moreau

By: Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Narrated by: Gisela Chípe
Length: 11 hours 39 minutes

“In her follow-up to Mexican Gothic, Moreno-Garcia gives us another... well, Mexican Gothic. And an update of a sci-fi classic, no less! Yet this feels (fittingly) like an evolution, not a retread.

Tender is the Flesh

“ This was one of the most difficult books I've ever read, right alongside the likes of José Saramago's BLINDNESS.

A stark look at what types of violence we find... Read more
