Robert Louis Stevenson originally wrote this story as a "shilling shocker." He then burned the draft and, upon his wife's advice, rewrote it as the darkly complex tale it is today. Stark, skillfully woven, this fascinating novel explores the curious turnings of human character through the strange case of Dr. Jekyll, an kindly scientist who by night takes on his stunted evil self, Mr. Hyde. Anticipating modern psychology, this story is a brilliantly original study of man's dual nature - as well as an immortal tale of suspense and terror.
