Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde & other stories
2024
Book
"Dr. Henry Jekyll is a respectable man, sociable and well-liked, so his friends Mr. Utterson and Mr. Enfield are concerned when Dr. Jekyll appears linked to Edward Hyde. Mr. Hyde's outbursts of violence have their small community on edge; he may be small in stature, but no one can deny he's terribly dangerous, self-indulgent, and even evil. As Dr. Jekyll's behavior grows more erratic and Mr. Utterson circles in ever closer to the elusive Mr. Hyde, the shocking truth of the relationship between the good doctor and the unholy terror comes to light -- a chain of events set off by a repressed man giving himself over wholly to the worst of his vices and shame. Also included are 'The Body Snatcher,' a story about medical students haunted by what they've done to obtain cadavers, and 'The Bottle Imp,' a tale of a man who buys a cursed bottle who learns about the consequences of wishes."-- Provided by publisher.
