A combination of historical and science fiction, "The Daughter of Dr. Moreau" reimagines H.G. Wells "The Island of Dr. Moreau" in 19th century Mexico.

From the Washington Post: "With a powerful woman at its center, ‘The Daughter of Doctor Moreau’ is a gripping tale that melds horror, history and a little romance."

From Kirkus Magazine: "Moreno-Garcia’s previous work has spanned genres—horror in Mexican Gothic (2020), noir in Velvet Was the Night (2021)—and in this volume, she deftly combines fantasy, adventure, and even romance; the result is hard to classify but definitely a lot of fun."
