Publisher's Synopsis
'All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and
evil: and Edward Hyde, alone in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil'
Published as a 'shilling shocker', Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological
fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr
Jekyll's strange association with 'damnable young man' Edward Hyde; the hunt
through fog-bound London for a killer; and the final revelation of Hyde's true
identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil.
