The Album of Dr. Moreau | Daryl Gregory
7 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
Daryl Gregory's The Album of Dr. Moreau combines the science fiction premise of the famous novel by H. G. Wells with the panache of a classic murder mystery and the spectacle of a beloved boy band. Its 2001, and the WyldBoyZ are the worlds hottest boy band, and definitely the worlds only genetically engineered human-animal hybrid vocal group. When their producer, Dr. M, is found murdered in his hotel room, the boyz become the prime suspects. Was it Bobby the ocelot (the cute one), Matt the megabat (the funny one), Tim the Pangolin (the shy one), Devin the bonobo (the romantic one), or Tusk the elephant (the smart one)? Las Vegas Detective Luce Delgado has only twenty-four hours to solve a case that goes all the way back to the secret science barge where the WyldBoyZ journey first begana place they used to call home. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

A little bit funny, a little bit sad and a lot weird (the good kind). A murder has occurred in the hotel room of infamous boy band the Wildboyz - a group of human/animal hybrids - and it looks like one of the members is to blame. This novella managed to flesh out all the characters quickly and I found the mystery satisfying, if brief. I would read a whole series on Detective Luce Delgado, I loved her 😍. Read for #popsugar22 #abookaboutaband

Superbly weird. The WildBoyZ is a boy band made up of animal/human hybrids whose back story plays into a murder mystery.

RebL I have to tell my son about this book! We read The Island of Dr. Moreau aloud together. If the band doesn't have a song titled, “Are we not men?!“, then they aren't worth vivisecting. 2y

The WyldBoyz are part human, part animal and also a famous rock band while the rest of the world are just human. They've never discussed publicly how they came to be, they just decided to be famous! Now there has been a murder and they have to make sure none of them are considered the killer. The twist at the end, the science fiction aspects just built such a weird story. I loved it! Now I need to read more books by Gregory cause this was great!

WTF? That is all.

(Listened to this short read with my SO on a day trip when most of our day was in the car. We had to cut our planned walk in this conservation area short due to rain. And bugs.)

I‘m pretty sure it was @Liberty on All The Books who talked up this novella earlier this week. I have never read THE ISLAND OF DR MOREAU, but as soon as she said this book was a locked room mystery with animal-human hybrids, I immediately bought the ebook after seeing that my library didn‘t have it.

It was a deliciously quick read, perfect for a weekend camping trip. 🐾

janeycanuck I was intrigued by her description, too, but also have never read Dr. Moreau. Does it still work without knowing the original? 3y

vivastory I can't wait to read this one! For some reason I thought it was being released later in the year 3y
kyraleseberg @vivastory I *think* the release was moved up... But publishing has been so chaotic since last year I'm not 100% 3y
