In his search for his own inner self, the brilliant Dr Jekyll instead uncovers a monster. First published in 1886 to critical acclaim, this mesmerising thriller remains a terrifying study of the duality of human nature, and it was this book that made Stevenson’s reputation as a writer. This volume also brings together Stevenson’s 1887 collection of short stories, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables: The Merry Men, a gripping Highland tale of shipwrecks and madness; Markheim, a sinister study of a murderer’s mind; Thrawn Janet, a spine-chilling tale of demonic possession; Olalla, an account 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. This edition includes an Introduction and Notes by Dr Tim Middleton, Head of English Studies at the University of Ripon and York.
