When Frank Casillis, an eccentric independently wealthy vagabond, finds himself near an old friend's pavilion on a remote part of the Scottish coast, he discovers some mysterious nocturnal goings-on. The house is being visited under cover of darkness ... strange figures land on the coast ... and then he is himself the victim of a savage knife attack.

Dr Jekyll creates a potion whereby he can divide the good and evil parts of his personality and thus free the good side to work for the benefit of mankind without the distraction of his baser instincts. Unfortunately, he undertakes the experiment while the depraved side of his nature is in the ascendancy and turns into the repulsive Mr Hyde, whose very presence ‘emanates with foulness and decay’, and who bears the ‘signature of Satan’ on his face.

Here are two classic thrillers by a master of suspense. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde explores the split nature of man.

The second tale, Markheim, tells of a robber named Markheim who murders a shopkeeper on Christmas day.

Dieser reist mittels Zauberei an einen einsamen Strand und sammelt dort Muscheln, die sich in Silbermünzen verwandeln. Als Keola sich von diesem Schatz heimlich bedienen will, zieht er den Zorn Kalamakes auf sich...

Eine geheimnisvolle Landkarte, eine verheißungsvolle Südseeinsel (wohl mit Piratenschatz!), eine wenig vertrauenswürdige Schiffsbesatzung...

Markheim ist ein skrupelloser Raubmörder. Die Begegnung mit einem führt ihm vor Augen, wohin sein Lebenswandel ihn geführt hat....

Il dramma del Dottor Jekyll è quello dell'uomo che prova ad esplorare il suo lato oscuro e che, inevitabilmente, ne viene risucchiato...

In una Londra cupa e piovigginosa può capitare di incontrare un innocente giovane che vi porge gustosissime paste alla crema prima di concedervi il lusso di un suicidio al tavolo da gioco, dove ogni carta ha un valore ugualmente letale. Oppure perdervi terrorizzati fra le peripezie di un giovane, sprovveduto americano e un cadavere troppo ingombrante che non vuole saperne di sparire per sempre. E può anche accadere che una stanza sontuosamente arredata sparisca davanti ai vostri occhi in una sorta di incubo senza spazio e senza tempo.

Published as a 'shilling shocker', Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with 'damnable young man' Edward Hyde, the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer, and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil. The other stories in this volume also testify to Stevenson's inventiveness within the Gothic genre.

Respectable Doctor Henry Jekyll has a dark secret, and his friend Mr. Utterson is determined to find out what it is. Classic fiction that has become iconic in literature, film, and everyday vocabulary.
