The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
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.

Pretty good story and well narrated.
Great narration
Pleasant to listen to and a great story
Start of a Journey Through Classic Sci/Fi
I realized that while I love the science fiction and fantasy genre, I had not read many of the classics.
Many of the big 20th century’s classics sure, but not many of those from the early years, save a few of Poe’s works.
So, I started with RLS’s famous story.
It is a bit dated, but it’s only so because so many tropes that are tropes today spun out of this.
The narrator is very good. With a neutral yet pleasingly British, which as an American I do enjoy.
