  'All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde, alone, in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil.'
  
  A masterclass in the gothic novel, and a poignant commentary of the duality of humankind, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is an enduring classic.
  
  Something unsettling is afoot in Victorian London. After a series of violent crimes – including the trampling of a young girl and ruthless murder of a well-respected gentleman – Mr Utterson takes it upon himself to investigate the one person he believes is responsible: the abominable Mr Hyde. Meanwhile, Utterson's friend, the intelligent and esteemed scientist Dr Jekyll, begins behaving peculiarly. He becomes elusive, spending more time in his lab and acting inexplicably. As the sinister Hyde continues to wreak havoc on London society to devastating consequences, Utterson begins to spot connections between the criminal and Dr Jekyll. Could it be that his dear friend and this murderous brute are somehow related?
  
  Stevenson's depiction of the fragmented self, and the struggle between one's inner conflicts, still resonates a hundred years later. This audiobook edition is read by award-winning narrator, Johnathan Keeble.

  Mary Shelly: FRANKENSTEIN

  Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by the British author Mary Shelley. Shelley wrote the novel when she was 18 years old. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818, and this audiobook is read from that text. Shelley's name appeared on the revised third edition, published in 1831. The title of the novel refers to the scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In modern popular culture, people have tended to refer to the Creature as "Frankenstein" (especially in films since 1931), despite this being the name of the scientist, and the creature being unnamed in the book itself. Frankenstein is a novel infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also a warning against the "over-reaching" of modern man and the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel's subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films. It is arguably considered the first fully-realised science fiction novel and raises many issues still relevant to today's society
