Barry Menikoff, author of Narrating Scotland (2005), is Professor Emeritus at The University of Hawai'i at Manoa.

The complexity and range of Robert Louis Stevenson's short fiction reveals his genius perhaps more than any other medium. Here, leading Stevenson scholar Barry Menikoff arranges and introduces the complete selection of Stevenson's brilliant stories, including the famed masterpiece Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, as well as "The Beach of Falesá” and Stevenson's previously uncollected stories. Arthur Conan Doyle has written that "[Stevenson's] short stories are certain to retain their position in English literature. His serious rivals are few indeed.”This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes explanatory notes, a Scots' Glossary, and a unique appendix dedicated to Stevenson's influence on the Oxford English Dictionary.

"Originally published over a hundred years ago, the fifteen stories in this anthology represent some of the great classics of ghost and terror fiction ... These British and American tales span eight decades of literary history, and they present a terrifying collection of ghosts, monsters, and monstrous men."--Back cover.

But gradually he begins to find that the journey back to goodness becomes more and more difficult, and the risk that Mr Hyde will break free entirely from Dr Jekyll's control puts all of London in grave peril.

An extensively annotated edition, and first publication in English, of Stevenson's early, unfinished, comic novel satirising the events and passions, personalities and the predicaments, of the late-Victorian scene.
