This dark psychological fantasy is more than a moral tale. It is also a product of its time, drawing on contemporary theories of class, evolution and criminality, and the secret lives behind Victorian propriety, to create a unique form of urban Gothic.

i bought this expecting it to be better - more eerie, more story but it's simple and slow and not scary at all. was disappointed in it and other stories though i normally love this kind of thing!

Gothic horror with moral lessons about human nature falling (or resisting falling) into mortal temptation. Elegant language, well narrated. But the chapter breaks are abrupt and somewhat jarring. Well worth the time to listen.

Great stories & narration, abrupt chapter breaks

Would you listen to The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Other Tales of Terror again? Why?

I decided to get this book after coming across some references to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide in self-development literature. All 3 stories have a flavor of a psychological thriller, amended for time and place. For me, Dr Jekyll-Mr. Hide story is more about the personality destruction by addiction, then about the split/dual personality. The narrator is excellent, with the perfect blend of passion for the plot and characters, and impartiality of a story teller.

Excellent performance of the classic tales

Strange Case is one of my once a year reads, and it always moves - and horrifies - me a great deal. The other stories here are wonderful as well.

Now that Foyle’s War (which, I also recommend) is no more I wish Michael Kitchen would read as many books as possible for Audible. His voice is as subtle and richly expressive as his face and gestures when he acts (and I don’t say that often, even about other favorite actors). A very enjoyable listen, all around.

Michael Kitchen is a gem. Oh, and Stevenson isn’t bad either.

Classic stories read by one of the two or three best British narrators. Lets hope Michael Kitchen is commissioned to record dozens more classic works.

Truly great narrator: Michael Kitchen

Fun intro to gothic style horror books. The voice actor does a good job to keep listeners engaged.

Effectively read by Michael Kitchen, this audiobook offers three compelling nightmarish tales by Robert Louis Stevenson. The first is Stevenson's classic tale of the dual nature inside all of us, of our inner conflict between good and evil: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It is a concise and powerful story whose unusual structure involves us more and more deeply in Jekyll's inevitable doom. The second tale, "The Body Snatcher," leads steadily to a nightmarish shock. The third tale, "Olalla," is a gothic look at evolution (devolution!) played out in an old aristocratic Spanish family. Kitchen reads all three tales with perfect pitch, pace, understanding, and expression.

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a good story and I always enjoy listening to Michael Kitchen narrating books. I didn’t care so much for the other stories that are part of this audiobook.

Good narration and liked the first story
