In 1833, Robert Louis Stevenson, the superb Scottish writer, published the run-away best-seller, Treasure Island, which to this day, remains the best pirate book ever created! A year later Stevenson, bedridden and in a fever, woke up from an awful nightmare which so terrified him that he quickly penned The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, published in 1886, another brilliant work about the life and death struggle between two opposing personalities - one essentially good, the other essentially evil - for the soul of one man. The kind and intelligent Dr. Jekyll concocts a drug intended to separate his good self from his evil self, and after drinking it, turns into a psychopathic monster: Mr. Hyde!

Stevenson, a writer of great skill and originality, compels us to feel the horror of Dr. Jekyll's duality as he stunningly captures the epic battle of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! Read by Chris Hendrie, veteran actor from the classic horror movies Psycho II and Fright Night, Jekyll and Hyde is a thrill/chill journey that will capture your imagination in the best horror-classic tradition.
