Dr. Henry Jekyll, fascinated by the dichotomy of good and evil, no longer wants to inhibit his dark side. He concocts a potion to create the alter ego of Mr. Edward Hyde. With the burden of evil placed on Hyde, Jekyll can now take pleasure in his immoral, nefarious fantasies—free of conscience and guilt. It's when Hyde turns to murder that Jekyll realizes how monstrous his impulses are and how hard they are to suppress.

Exploring the nature of shame, repression, desire, and control, Stevenson's story has so endured that "a Jekyll and Hyde personality" has become part of our lexicon in understanding our own—sometimes involuntary—duality.

    Between 1923 and 1954, Weird Tales magazine shaped the landscape of modern horror, fantasy, and science fiction. It was the crucible of cosmic terror, sword-and-sorcery, and supernatural fiction, a publication that launched the careers of some of the twentieth century’s most enduring genre writers. 
    WEIRD TALES presents a carefully curated selection of standout stories from the magazine’s golden age. This anthology brings together a wide spectrum of speculative fiction, ranging from mythic fantasy and Gothic mystery to tales of metaphysical horror and existential dread. 
    Included are key works by foundational figures such as H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard, alongside stories by lesser-known (but no less compelling) contributors. Together, these works reflect the evolving anxieties of the early twentieth century: fears of science and progress, the collapse of known realities, and humanity’s uncertain place in a vast, indifferent cosmos. 
    To better highlight the thematic richness of the material, the anthology is divided into twelve distinct sections, each with its own introduction: 
    Cosmic Horror (divided over 3 of the 12 sections), Caverns & Ghouls, Fantasy Realms, Haunted & Cursed, Monsters & Spectres, Mysteries & Rituals, Science & Body Horror, Sea & Polar Horror, Vampires & Werewolves, Weird Wilderness 
    Organized to reflect both thematic range and literary influence, this volume offers listeners a unique opportunity to explore the DNA of modern genre fiction in its raw, original form. 
    Whether approached as a historical archive, a collection of literary curiosities, or a gallery of timeless nightmares, WEIRD TALES is an indispensable addition to the library of any serious reader of the weird, the fantastic, or the macabre.
