DESCRIPTIONS

“I knew myself, at the first breath of this new life, to be more wicked, tenfold more wicked . . . and the thought, in that moment, braced and delighted me like wine.” An indescribably evil madman lurks beneath the prim and proper façade of Victorian London causing Mr. Utterson to vow, “If he shall be Mr. Hyde, I shall be Mr. Seek!” You may think you know the story of Jekyll and Hyde, but as the layers of mystery are peeled off one by one, the shadowy gothic suspense will keep you riveted to the end. This science fiction thriller has permeated the English language as the term “Jekyll and Hyde” became synonymous with dual personality. Find out why in the story that came to Stevenson in a feverish nightmare and has inspired writers and artists for well over a century. Unabridged 1886 edition.
