Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a perfect short science-fiction based story. The novel was a perfectly fine read which I enjoyed, but nothing jumps out to make it an amazing read.

It's interesting to read this through a modern lens when everyone already knows the twist. I can see how shaken the audience of the day would have felt! The book is spookier and creepier than I thought it would be.
