Dueling Monsters 2011: H.G. Wells vs. H.P. Lovecraft

I found this challenge through Bev's Myreadersblock. In theDueling Monsters challenge The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G.Wells is pitched against The Call of Cthulhu by H.P Lovecraft. Much as I love Wells, I read The Island of Dr.Moreau just a few months before. I don't want to re-read it, at least not so soon. Maybe a few years later when I have completely forgotten what this story is about I may re-read it. After pondering for a while on whether I should join or not and whether I can finish reading it. I thought I will try Cthulhu if I feel upto it I will sign up for this. And I finished reading it. I will post on the short story/novella very soon.
