“If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also.”
this is a good book to read on halloween bc, even tho not that terrifying and pretty fast paced it is an interesting mystery and if you do not know the main spoiler (which is hard considering it is a classic) you'll enjoy it even more
i was listening to ain't no rest for the wicked by cage the elephant & burning pile by mother mother while writing this review
'kay, i'm out
bye

Great read! I’m a sucker for 1800s gothic London.

In the beginning, I found absolutely no enjoyment in this book. However, as I grew accustomed to the writing style, I actually fell in the love with the prose. Especially the last chapter, Jekyll's account, was beautifully written. This part specifically brought up some interesting moral questions.

The word "faggot" is used once, though I'm not sure in which sense.sandy_21's review against another edition

This has been on my TBR for quite a while and given how short it is, I can't believe it's taken me this long to get to it. I haven't had the best of luck with classic horror stories but I enjoyed this one. It was quick and creepy, just what I wanted out of it. It is a Victorian classic, so the writing is a little dense but I was still able to fly through this one in a little over an hour.
This book counts for Popsugar 2022 for a book set in Victorian times, for the magical readathon for my character's background of urban - a book set in a city or town, and for Bookland for January 2022 for a horror short read.
