Reviews
“[Daryl Gregory] constructs a clever mash-up of H.G. Wells’s The Island of Doctor Moreau, a locked room mystery, and the boy band phenomenon in this zippy but complex tale… [A] quirky and entertaining twist on a classic.” – Publisher’s Weekly
“Gregory deliberately and imaginatively breaks every one of T. S. Eliot’s “Rules of Detective Fiction,” with which he has prefaced this luminous novella.” – Booklist, starred review
“Both unexpected and yet completely satisfying.” – Mystery & Suspense Magazine
“A stunning detective story full of all-too-human animals. Reading Daryl Gregory is so much fun you never notice until it’s too late that he’s got you by the feels, and he’s about to squeeze. I loved this hilarious, touching, ridiculous ride.” – Sam J. Miller, Nebula Award-winning author of The Art of Starving and Blackfish City
“This book has everything: a genetically engineered boy band, a great detective, a Zima-soaked tour party full of suspects, and a clever locked-room mystery. Funny, smart, and completely satisfying. I devoured it like a delicious grub snack.” – Sarah Pinsker, author of A Song For A New Day and We Are Satellites
“Daryl Gregory is terrific, and The Album of Dr Moreau continues his high-roller, high-stakes streak of awesome. I laughed on page one, was horrified by page thirteen, and was delighted till the very end.” – Lavie Tidhar
“Meticulous, cunning, and clever.” – Elizabeth Bear
