Strange Case of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde is the tale of a London lawyer who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend scientist Dr Henry Jekyll and brooding misanthrope Eric Hyde, Stevenson came up with the idea for the book in a feverish nightmare.
He is said to have burned the original manuscript before returning to the tale. In the novel Jekyll turns into Hyde after drinking a potion he has concocted to separate the evil and good that exist within us all.
The ten chapters comprise Stevenson’s complete, unedited text and for this EXCLUSIVE Metro version will be accompanied by illustrations by celebrated comic-book cartoonist Cam Kennedy.
