BEASTS HIDE BEHIND HUMAN EYES: TWO HORROR CLASSICS IN ONE VOLUME! In Victorian London, good, well-respected Dr. Jekyll discovers the secret. At last, he brutalizes without guilt. Lives ecstasy without restraint. Or rules. Only one man can stop him. Hidden on an island on the opposite side of the world, scientist Doctor Moreau slices nature into agonized pieces. Better than humans. Stronger. Slaves to his will. Until nature fights back. Two classic horrors. One book. A soul-shivering night between the covers. There is no sleeping here.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850, the only son of an engineer, Thomas Stevenson. Despite a lifetime of poor health, Stevenson was a keen traveller, and his first book An Inland Voyage (1878) recounted a canoe tour of France and Belgium. In 1880, he married an American divorcee, Fanny Osbourne, and there followed Stevenson's most productive period, in which he wrote, amongst other books, Treasure Island (1883), The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and Kidnapped (both 1886). In 1888, Stevenson left Britain in search of a more salubrious climate, settling in Samoa, where he died in 1894.
