«In seeking to discover his inner self, the brilliant Dr Jekyll discovers a monster. First published to critical acclaim in 1886, this mesmerising thriller is a terrifying study of the duality of man's nature. This volume also includes Stevenson's 1887 collection of short stories, «The Merry Men» and Other Tales and Fables. «The Merry Men» is a gripping Highland tale of shipwrecks and madness; «Markheim», the 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.»
