Accompanied here by three other memorable stories of horror, murder and the supernatural, Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a masterpiece of Victorian Gothic literature.

Why has the mild mannered Dr Jekyll suddenly begun to associate with the ugly and violent Mr Hyde? And why are they never seen together?

This edition features an afterword by playwright and screenwriter Peter Harness.
