The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is Robert Louis Stevenson’s haunting exploration of the duality of human nature. First published in 1886, this gothic novella tells the gripping tale of the respectable Dr. Henry Jekyll and his sinister alter ego, Edward Hyde.

Set against the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London, the story unfolds through mysterious events, unexplained violence, and the gradual revelation of a horrifying truth—that every person harbors both good and evil within. As Jekyll loses control over his darker side, Stevenson masterfully examines identity, morality, and the consequences of unchecked scientific ambition.

A cornerstone of psychological horror and gothic literature, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde continues to captivate readers with its timeless themes, atmospheric tension, and chilling portrait of the human psyche.
