A chilling exploration of humanity’s capacity for evil and the dark side of thoughtless curiosity

Exploring timeless themes of the duality of human nature, the tension between good and evil, and the consequences of tampering with the natural order, the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde remains one of the enduring classics of the gothic horror genre. This new Capstone Classics edition revisits Robert Louis Stevenson’s much-loved novel, with a fresh introduction that offers insights into its unforgettable characters.

The book follows the investigation conducted by Gabriel John Utterson, a legal expert based in London, as he explores the mysterious connection between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and a murderer named Edward Hyde. As the true cause of the coincidences is brought into sharp relief, the book’s characters are forced to re-examine their ideas of what it means to be good and the potential impacts of science and curiosity.

Inside the book:

  • A tale of good, evil, and humanity that remains as relevant and gripping today as when first published.
  • A new introduction by Tom Butler-Bowdon that offers perspectives on Stevenson’s themes and characters, his influences, and the times in which he was writing.

Perfect for everyone interested in one of the foundational stories of the gothic and science fiction traditions, this new Capstone Classics edition of Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a must-read for fans of mysteries, thrillers, and horror fiction.

About the Author

Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850. Chronically ill with bronchitis and possibly tuberculosis, Stevenson withdrew from Engineering at Edinburgh University in favour of Studying Law. Although he passed the bar and became an advocate in 1875, he knew that his true work was as a writer. Between 1876 and his death in 1894, Stevenson wrote prolifically. His published essays, short stories, fiction, travel books, plays, letters and poetry number in dozens. The most famous of his works include Travels With A Donkey in the Cevennes (1879), New Arabian Nights (1882), Treasure Island (1883), The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1887), Thrawn Janet (1887) and Kidnapped (1893).
After marrying Fanny Osbourne in 1880 Stevenson continued to travel and to write about his experiences. His poor health led him and his family to Valima in Samoa, where they settled. During his days there Stevenson was known as 'Tusitala' or 'The Story Teller.' His love of telling romantic and adventure stories allowed him to connect easily with the universal child in all of us. 'Fiction is to grown men what play is to the child,' he said.

Tom Butler-Bowdon was working as a political adviser in Australia when, at 25, he read Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Captivated by it and other books in the personal development field, he left his career and went on to write critical introductions to self-development and prosperity classics through the best-selling Capstone Classics series published by Wiley. He then went on to write bestselling 50 Self-Help Classics, the first guide to the personal development literature and a winner of the Benjamin Franklin Award.
