The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

This intriguing combination of fantasy thriller and moral allegory depicts the gripping struggle of two opposing personalities — one essentially good, the other evil — for the soul of one man. Its tingling suspense and intelligent and sensitive portrayal of man's dual nature reveal Stevenson as a novelist of great skill and originality, whose power to terrify and move us remains, over a century later, undiminished.

Batner's Note: Excellent choice for an ISU exploring the Gothic genre. Themes include morality, duality of man (i.e. doppelganger), the uncanny, and revealing the obscure. Great short read. - Michael
