"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde" and similar items

The legendary tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, written by Robert Louis Stevenson and originally published in 1886, is brought to life through the illustrative works of American illustrator, Scott Zambelli. This gothic novella is about a London legal practitioner named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates some strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the much reviled Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the vernacular phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" referring to people with an unpredictably dual nature: outwardly good, but sometimes shockingly evil. 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. Today, Stevenson's novella is recognized as an incisive study of Victorian morality and sexual repression, as well as a great thriller. The main body of this novel is the complete original story of Jekyll Hyde as told by Robert Louis Stevenson. However, through the addition of an original Prologue and Epilogue, written by Scott Zambelli, we add a narration by Dracula which explains how the original novelization is in fact the origin story for the characters as they appear in Bardstone's "Crimson Shadows" series.
