How thin is the line between good and evil?
Discover the classic tale of gothic horror
Dr Jekyll has been experimenting with his identity. He has developed a drug which separates the two sides of his nature and allows him occasionally to abandon himself to his most corrupt inclinations as the monstrous Mr Hyde. But gradually he begins to find that the journey back to goodness becomes more and more difficult, and the risk that Mr Hyde will break free entirely from Dr Jekyll's control puts all of London in grave peril.
Stevenson's short stories are certain to retain their position in English literature. His serious rivals are few indeed
Mr Hyde's sordid and perhaps deviant excesses are rendered more suggestive through being left undescribed
A fable that lies nearer to poetry than to ordinary prose fiction
Robert Louis Stevenson...was a storyteller, that's what I'd like to be, that's what I'm trying to be
Jekyll and Hyde, in particular, is such an important novel in terms of suspense and setting a perfect scene for crime
Writers I love: Ellroy, Larry Block, Robert Louis Stevenson, Muriel Spark, Anthony Burgess, Chandler... '[Edinburgh] was the city of Jekyll & Hyde, where the template for that story was a real-life Edinburgh character named Deacon William Brodie, who was a gentleman by day and a burglar and murderer by night. He gave Stevenson his story
Another genius Scottish take on the theme of split personalities. Needs no further introduction
