One of Stevenson's most famous and enduringly popular works the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and
Mr Hyde describes the mysterious relationship between a respectable and affable doctor and his
brutal associate. Set in the grimy streets of Victorian London this tale of murder split
personality and obscure science with its chilling final revelation became an instant horror
classic when it was first published in 1886 and has enthralled and terrified generations of
readers ever since. This volume also contains seven other Gothic stories by Stevenson - such as
'The Body Snatchers' 'Markheim' and 'Olalla' - showcasing the author's mastery of the horror
genre and his interest in both the otherworldly and the strange ways the human brain can
distort reality.
