Henry Jekyll is an idealistic young scientist whose main goal it is to unlock the secrets of the human soul. He creates many different potions and chemical mixtures in his lab, but still struggles with discovering its secret. After he creates his most recent elixir, Jekyll drinks it; he hopes this formula will eliminate people's evil side. However, things go terribly wrong and the effect is far from what he expected. What exactly will happen after Jekyll drinks the elixir? Is he ready for the consequences of his actions? Along with "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", in this collection you will find some of Stevenson's grimmest short stories such as "The Suicide Club", "The Body Snatcher", "Markheim", "Thrawn Janet" and "Lodging for the Nights".
