Explore "The Gland Men of the Island" by Malcolm Afford on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
To many who read my account of our amazing adventure on the island of the Gland Men, it will serve as just another illustration of how devious is the path of science. It will illustrate also how, from the darkness that girds it round, terrible possibilities loom black and menacing, terrifying those daring enough to wander from the beaten track.
Another, and I fear greater, section of my readers may harbour no such sentiments, labelling the whole as a tissue of preposterous lies, but to those who condemn me, I say this. Take the facts--meagre, garbled-- as they appeared in the newspapers and attempt to account for them in any other way. There is only one answer. It is impossible.
