Includes pictures and an extra material section on Stevenson's life and works One of Stevenson's most famous and enduringly popular works, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde describes the mysterious relationship between a respectable and affable doctor and his brutal associate. Set in the grimy streets of Victorian London, this tale of murder, split personality, and obscure science, with its chilling final revelation, became an instant horror classic when it was first published in 1886 and has enthralled and terrified generations of readers ever since.

This is a book that is quite readable when it comes to the writing style and language which is unique due to the time period this was published in, the author explores split personality and more in all these stories.
I was torn between a 3.5 and 4 for mainly one reason, the first story, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was utterly addicting but far too short, I wished for more, after that, the rest of the short stories fell flat to me, as none could compare to the first one.
I definitely find the concepts interesting, the majority of the other stories were a lot more difficult to read unfortunately, I also just couldn't get behind the ideas and didn't enjoy them.
I think the one I can say I was at least a little invested in (apart from Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde) was The Body Snatchers.
I definitely think Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde should have been longer but regardless, I recommend reading it, I borrowed this book not for the other stories but for that one story alone.
Overall, a readable riveting opening story with other stories that are less than stellar.

I liked Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde alright but as for the other stories, well I was disappointed.
