Up for sale is a 1990 Franklin Library copy of "THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE AND OTHER STORIES" by Robert Louis Stevenson. This is part of the special Franklin Library Mystery Masterpieces series.

Idealistic young scientist Henry Jekyll struggles to unlock the secrets of the soul. Testing chemicals in his lab, he drinks a mixture he hopes will isolate - and eliminate - human evil. Instead it unleashes the dark forces within him, transforming him into the hideous and murderous Mr. Hyde. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde dramatically brings to life a science-fiction case study of the nature of good and evil and the duality that can exist within one person. Resonant with psychological perception and ethical insight, the work has literary roots in Dostoevsky's "The Double" and Crime and Punishment. Today Stevenson's novella is recognized as an incisive study of Victorian morality and sexual repression, as well as a great thriller.

This collection also includes some of the author's grimmest short fiction: "The Suicide Club, "The Body Snatcher," among others.
