A full unabridged audiobook of the classic horror novella, "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson - complete with sounds and visuals.
The narrative follows Gabriel John Utterson, a London-based legal practitioner who investigates a series of strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and a murderous criminal named Edward Hyde.
It has come to be considered as a defining book of the gothic horror genre. The novella has also had a sizeable impact on popular culture, with the phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" being used in vernacular to refer to people with an outwardly good but sometimes shockingly evil nature.
The story was first published in 1886 and was initially sold as a paperback for one shilling in the UK.
***UPDATE: There is a cut to this audio made at the 2:16:16 mark, where a single word has been removed. This was causing the video to be demonetised for me and so has been edited. I apologise for any inconvenience when listening but hope you will understand. The word in question was used contemporaneously to mean a log or bundle of sticks bound together but has since become used as a derogatory slur. It's a shame to have to edit the piece based on current appropriations of language as I always try to keep these pieces as legitimate as possible but I understand YouTube's guidelines are there for a reason***
