’Every bit as claustrophobic, creepy and chilling as when it first saw the light of day over a century ago’
Ian Rankin
Published as a 'shilling shocker’, Robert Louis Stevenson’s dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality
The story of respectable Dr Jekyll’s strange association with the 'damnable young man’ Edward Hyde; the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer; and the final revelation of Hyde’s true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity’s basest capacity for evil. The other stories in this volume also testify to Stevenson’s inventiveness within the Gothic tradition: 'Olalla’, a tale of vampirism and tainted family blood, and 'The Body Snatcher’, a gruesome fictionalisation of the exploits of the notorious Burke and Hare.
Edited with an introduction by Robert Mighall
