The Daughter of Doctor Moreau

As the title says, this is more about the daughter of the infamous Dr Moreau than the doctor himself or the hybrid creatures he created. While it's well-written in a modern sense, and a decent alternate history, these aspects take some of the tension of the great original away & turn it into more of a movie western. The horror aspects are virtually gone & its message about playing God is more focused on how the hybrids are used rather than creating them in the first place. That said, it's worth reading & I liked it better than I have any of Moreno-Garcia's books to date.
