Description

What would happen if we could separate our better selves from our baser half? Dr. Jekyll discovers the horrifying answer in Robert Louis Stevensons gripping, atmospheric novella. An instant success upon publication, it chillingly illuminates the darkest aspects of the human soul. Set in the same foggy, sinister streets of Victorian London where Jack the Ripper prowled, the tale depicts Dr. Jekylls transformation into the evil, amoral Mr. Hyde, after drinking a serum that he created in his laboratory. While at first Jekyll revels in the freedom of his dissolute alter ego, gradually Hyde begins to take over Jekylls entire being--with devastating consequences.
