’The Monster Men’ is a novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, first serialized in ’All-Story Magazine’ in 1913. It’s a science fiction adventure story set in the jungles of Borneo. The plot revolves around Dr. Carl Lydon, a scientist who creates artificial human beings called ’monster men’ through a process of biological engineering. These creatures, however, lack humanity and moral compass. When the doctor’s daughter, Virginia, becomes stranded in the jungle, she encounters the monster men and their creator, leading to a series of thrilling adventures and moral dilemmas.
’The Monster Men’ is notable for its exploration of themes such as ethics, identity, and the consequences of playing god. While perhaps not as well-known as Burroughs’ other works like ’Tarzan’ or ’John Carter of Mars’ series, it still showcases his talent for crafting imaginative and exciting tales in exotic settings.
