Griffin’s reading brings a level of hopeful desperation to Prendick, the story’s narrator. Trapped on this bizarre island-sized laboratory, Prendick must survive while under the ever-watchful eyes of his human benefactor and the unpredictable eyes of his animalistic creations. The only other inhabitants of the island are Moreau’s assistant, Montgomery, and a disturbing collection of beast folk-animal hybrids stitched and spliced together by Moreau through a series of cruel and painful experiments in his attempts to elevate common animals into some twisted semblance of humankind. His relief is short-lived, however, as he soon finds himself marooned on a strange and dangerous island ruled by a mysterious scientist named Dr. Edward Prendick, an upper-class Englishman, is shipwrecked, adrift on the ocean and facing certain death, when he is miraculously rescued by a passing ship. Voice actor Griffin brings the perfect sense of earnestness to his reading of this prophetic tale of science gone mad.
