What would happen if you let your darkness out? Are you certain you’d be able to rein it back in? When Dr. Jekyll turned toward the dark side, he was convinced he could turn back at will, while his friends assumed he’d fallen under the influence of the criminal Mr. Hyde. But the good doctor—and all his acquaintances—were very, very wrong. Can Dr. Jekyll escape the clutches of Mr. Hyde before it’s too late?
Set in the London society of the 1880s, Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novella is a masterful tale of suspense and psychological intrigue. The story plays to primal fears like losing control of ourselves and discovering that a person we trusted is actually someone—or something—else entirely: a monster. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a must-read for anyone who loves mysteries and crime fiction.

Awesome
A classic makes you think about the excitement and fear of doing evil acts that we all have inside us somewhere
Quality Narration but Dull Story.
The films are far better than this, the book, but the story is so nicely spoken out here it’s worth a listen for the writing style, the language and it’s well told too. My mind did keep wandering off, lalaladedadar, and I’d have to keep spoiling back though.
Had high expectations
It was a shortish story that got me thinking but once i had it figured i found it a bit lacking
