  ASHER 
   
   
   
  Hockey, studying, and school runs. That's my life now. After a tragic accident that took our parents' lives, it's up to me and my big brother to take care of our five younger siblings. In between burning their meals and keeping them from killing each other, I'm supposed to get a college degree. If I don't get my grades up, I'm in danger of losing the one thing that makes me happy: my spot on the hockey team. 
   
   
   
  Which is why when the new equipment manager offers to tutor me, I really can't afford to say no. Even though I should. He's Coach's son and way too tempting.

Why, when he's struggling in classes, do I offer to help? And why, when we're studying, do I suggest a reward system that lands us squarely in bed? 
   
   
   
  Asher's trouble, I know he is. But there's something about him that makes it impossible to stay away.

  Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr...

  "Man is not truly one, but truly two."
  
  In the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London, the respected and brilliant Dr. Henry Jekyll has made a terrifying discovery. Believing that every human soul is a battleground between good and evil, he develops a chemical potion to separate the two. But the experiment goes horribly wrong. Out of the laboratory emerges Edward Hyde—a man of pure, unadulterated malice who prowls the night committing acts of unspeakable violence. As Hyde's influence grows, the boundary between the two men begins to dissolve, leading to a desperate race for control and a shocking final revelation that changed the face of horror fiction forever.
  
  A Masterpiece of Suspense: Told through the eyes of the lawyer Gabriel Utterson, the story unfolds like a Victorian detective novel. Stevenson expertly builds dread through the "mystery of the door" and the unsettling physical descriptions of Hyde, whom people find "deformed" without being able to specify how—a brilliant psychological touch that suggests his evil is felt rather than seen.
  
  The Birth of Psychological Horror: Long before modern psychiatry, Stevenson explored the "repressed" desires of the Victorian gentleman. The tragedy of Dr. Jekyll isn't just his transformation into a monster, but his addiction to the freedom that being a monster provides. It is a searing critique of a society that demands outward perfection while ignoring the shadows within.
  
  Why It Endures: The phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" has entered our daily language for a reason. This novella remains a terrifyingly relevant look at the masks we wear and the consequences of trying to split our own nature. It is a fast-paced, atmospheric, and profoundly philosophical journey into the heart of human darkness.

  The Golden Scarecrow

  Hugh Walpole

  Toying with the distinctions between reader and narrator, author and character, imagination and perception, Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole's The Golden Scarecrow, in nine chapters, presents nine stories of nine children, united by location, more or less. A tenth story of a tenth life, divided into Prologue and Epilogue, provides a different sort of unity. These gentle and horrible tales of the weird may seem suitable for young readers, then again, they may not. (Summary by Cynthia Moyer)
