Classic story which I am glad I have finally read. This is a short story and part of me wishes it could have been a bit longer to delve deeper into the Hyde/ Jekyll relationship. I already knew the ending of the book but it is a good horror with suspense too.

A wonderful book. I’ve always liked gothic fiction, which fits [b:Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde|232300|Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with the Merry Men & Other Stories|Robert Louis Stevenson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1407244689l/232300._SY75_.jpg|55660851] perfectly. The other stories this book contains are also fun to read, however some are difficult and it took me an awful lot longer to get through than a normal set of short stories.

Still, definitely worth a read.
