As lightning flashes across the night sky, Victor Frankenstein succeeds in the ultimate scientific experiment - the creation of life. But the being he creates, though intelligent and sensitive, is so huge and hideous that it is rejected by its creator, and by everyone else who meets it.
A spine-chilling retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic horror story, guaranteed to thrill young readers. Behind the locked door of Dr. Jekyll's laboratory lies a mystery his lawyer is determined to solve. Why does the doctor spend so much time in there? What is the connection between the respectable Dr. Jekyll and his loathsome visitor, Mr. Hyde? Why has Dr. Jekyll changed his will to Hyde's advantage? And who killed Sir Danvers Crew? Includes informative notes on both the author and the original text.
