In Stevenson's suspense-filled masterpiece of horror, a shameless, repulsive creature stalks the streets and he's becoming harder to control . . . The charming Dr Jekyll could not be more different to the violent and depraved Mr Hyde – until, that is, he takes a potion of his own concoction which allows him to embrace his darker side. As Hyde's savagery escalates, Dr Jekyll finds himself trapped in a truly nightmarish tale of duality, leaving him forced to take desperate measures, as he discovers that leaving the monster behind is not as easy as he needs it to be. Four of Stevenson's other dark tales (including 'The Body Snatcher') complete this investigation into demonic influences of the most personal kind.
