About this listen

This dark psychological fantasy is more than a moral tale. It is also a product of its time, drawing on contemporary theories of class, evolution and criminality, and the secret lives behind Victorian propriety, to create a unique form of urban Gothic.

©2000 Robert Louis Stevenson (P)2014 Audible, Inc. Classics Genre Fiction Horror Literary Fiction Psychological Scary Fiction

Wonderful stories and narration.Thorough enjoyed them.Will listen to again. RLS is a master of story telling with beautiful use of language. Michael Kitchen does them justice. Perfect narration.

Wonderful stories.

But please, Mr Producer, please leave a pause between one chapter and the next - and in this case between one story and the next! I had to back up to realise that story two had begun at chapter four and then the third at chapter five. All this slightly detracted from Michael Kitchen's marvelous reading.
But haunting even so.

Atmospheric and completely transporting. Michael Kitchen's reading is fabulous ... he brings it all to life and does credit to Stevenson's prose.

I was really disappointed by this book, I expected to read a marvellous book being given the famous name, but that wasn’t the case. The story itself doesn’t have any substance, nothing that one can understand the line of the story.

Disappointing book

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Meh...

Did The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Other Tales of Terror inspire you to do anything?

It has inspired me not to buy more book by "Robert Louis Stevenson"

Any additional comments?

As I have already stated before with "Treasure Island" I'm not very impressed with the writings of "Robert Louis Stevenson" he has a real knack for coming up with interesting ideas but is less talented when it comes to executing them. This is just my opinion, but I think you would be better off checking out the Warner brothers bugs bunny cartoon of jackal and hide "Hyde and Hare" Which takes the mane story concept and turns it into a modern day masterpiece.

Letdown and disappointed.
