Mr. Gabriel Utterson is a serious, austere lawyer living a humdrum life in Victorian London. Yet there is a strange clause in his friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll's will: should he disappear for more than 3 months, everything will be inherited by Hyde. But after Edward Hyde's darker nature is revealed one dark winters night, Mr. Utterson begins to investigate the connection between the two men, and finds the dark secret binding them closer then he could have ever thought imaginable.
Adapted countless times in film, some times in video game form, and referenced countless times in popular culture, here is the story that started it all: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde!

First Sentence
"Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary and yet somehow lovable."

| June 12, 2025 | Edited by BLUE_ARCHIVIST | This classic novella does not deserve to have its ending spoiled on the blurb like that. That's like putting on the blurb of the final blurb of the Deathly Hallows in Harry Potter, "Harry was Voldemort's Horcrux the entire time!" so... I changed it. If any of you regulars have problems with that then feel free to change it back. |
