The story of respectable Dr Jekyll’s strange association with ‘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 genre: ‘Olalla’, a tale of vampirism and tainted family blood, and ‘The Body Snatcher’, which shows the murky underside of medical practice.
