Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with the Merry Men & Other Stories

In seeking to discover his inner self. the brilliant Dr. Henry Jekyll discovers a monster. First published to immediate acclaim in 1886 this mesmerising thriller is a terrifying study of the duality of man’s nature, and it is the book which established Stevenson’s reputation as a writer.

Also included in this volume is Stevenson’s 1887 collection of short stories, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables. The volume contains The Merry Men, 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.
