The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

The most infamous of horror stories—a disturbing examination of man's capacity for evil One pitch-black London morning, a ghoulish little man tramples a young girl and continues heedlessly on his way. Caught by a passerby and returned to the scene of the crime, the man is forced to pay £100 in restitution. He produces ten pounds in gold and a check for the remainder. Curiously, the check bears the signature of the well-regarded Dr. Henry Jekyll. Even stranger, Dr. Jekyll's will names this same awful and mysterious little man, Mr. Hyde, as the sole beneficiary. Troubled by the coincidence, Dr. Jekyll's attorney visits his client. What he uncovers is a tale so strange and terrifying it has seeped into the very fabric of our consciousness. An immediate success upon its publication in 1886 and a cultural touchstone to this day,  The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is one of the most disturbing stories ever told.   This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
