Full Description
Horror stalks the streets of London in the person of Mr. Hyde--Robert Louis Stevenson's iconic incarnation of the darkness inside us all. Appearing in Stevenson's classic terror tale "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" in 1886, Hyde has since been immortalized as one of the most memorable monsters in macabre fiction, a figment of the evil that even good men--such as his alter ego, Henry Jekyll--are capable of when the constraints of civilized life are loosed. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Terrifying Tales collects nine of Stevensons best-known tales of horror and dark fantasy, including The Body-Snatcher," "Markheim," "Thrawn Janet," "The Bottle Imp," "The Isle of Voices," "The Waif Woman," "Olalla," and "Will o' the Mill." These stories represent some of the best work by one of the greatest writers of the nineteenth century. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Terrifying Tales is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics.
