Stevenson's famous exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde have become synonymous with the idea of a split personality. More than a morality tale, this dark psychological fantasy is also a product of its time, drawing on contemporary theories of class, evolution, criminality, and secret lives.

Also included in this volume are The Body Snatcher, which explores the murky underside of Victorian medical practice, and Olalla, a tale of vampirism and 'the beast within', with a beautiful woman at its centre.
