| "…losing hold of my original and better self, and becoming slowly incorporated with my second and worse."Victorian London is the setting for The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), Stevenson's famous story of conflict between dual personalities: one good, and one ruthlessly evil.Other eerie tales in this volume are: The Body Snatcher (1881) inspired by the case of Burke and Hare; Markheim (1885) where a murderer meets a sinister smiling stranger; and The Bottle Imp (1893) in which an imp has the dubious power to grant the owner's every wish; also, The Weir of Hermiston (1896), an unfinished romance. |
