[QUOTE]Originally posted by knivesout: [QB] 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' by Wells may well have been the first ever story to warn us of the horrors of biotech (what Wells called 'vivisection', but I think I can make the stretch), if he hadn't been beaten to it by the 'maid who made a monster', Mary Shelley. Frankenstein is a book that is more often labelled as horror, but can also be thought of, at least chronologically, as a starting point for SF. Even HP Lovecraft's horrific vision had an SF tinge to it, which is most obvious in stories like 'At the mountains of madness', one of my favourites. I think Edgar Allan Poe also wrote certain stories - there was one about a journey in a balloon?- which qualify as proto-SF. BTW, yes, I'm new here. this seemed like a good topic to start on, and greetings all. [/QB][/QUOTE]
