In seeking to discover his inner self, the brilliant Dr Henry Jekyll discovers a monster. First published to immediate acclaim in 1886, this mensmerising thriller is a terrifying study of the duality of man`s nature, and it is the book which established Stevenson`s reputation as a writer.

Also included in this volume is Stevenson`s 1887 collection of short stories, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables.

The Merry Men is a gripping Highland tale of shipwreeks and madness; Markheim, a sinister study of the mind of a murderer; Thrawn Janet, a spine -chilling tale of demonic possession; Olalla , a study of degeneration and incipient vampirism in the Spanish mountains; Will O`the Mill, a thought-provoking fable about a mountain inn-keeper; and The Treasure of Franchard, a study of French bourgeois life.
