Published in 1886, during the heyday of Gothic horror, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is amongst the foundational works of the genre. So it’s an ideal first foray for unspooling AFTER DARK! (It helps that author Robert Louis Stevenson lends such compelling charm to the story that it remains a joy to read.)
If you’ve never read this incredible tale before, you owe it to yourself to experience this classic! And what better way than to allow yours truly to carry you off to late nineteenth century London, a land of great wealth and spectacular suffering populated by polite gentleman and rugged brutes. The city’s troublesome—and troubling!—dichotomies are put to the test in Stevenson’s enduring tale of transformation and repression.
Enjoy!
