The classic nightmare tale in a thrilling new edition Spawned by a nightmare that Stevenson had, this classic tale of the dark, primordial night of the soul remains a masterpiece of the duality of good and evil within us all.

Rating:  - I preferred the plot in the musical
After becoming involved with a production of Jekyll & Hyde, the musical, in the local community theater, I decided to re-read the original novel by Stevenson. In the book Jekyll/Hyde admits that he had no honorable motive for the transformations (other than curiosity).

Rating: - Free SF Reader
A scientist events a formula that can bring out man's dual nature. His opposite number, in this case, is somewhat of super-powered wanton, who does whatever he likes. Free of the social restraint of his other half, he happily commits any crime that comes to mind as he feels like it.
Eventually, investigators begin to suspect something, and a hunt is on.
Rating: - A Horror Classic
Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde is one of the most popular horror classics.
It is one of my favorites. Dr. Jekyll's experiment goes fowl.
