Publisher's summary
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next.

Story
H. P. Lovecraft is arguably the most important horror writer of the 20th century. Culled from his 1927 essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature”, Lovecraft acknowledges those authors and stories that he feels are the very finest the horror field has to offer, including Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, Bram Stoker, Robert Louis Stevenson, Guy de Maupassant, Ambrose Bierce, and Arthur Conan Doyle. This chilling collection includes 20 works, each prefaced by Lovecraft's own opinions and insights in each author’s work.

Story
Set during the Reign of Terror following the start of the French Revolution... The title character represents the original "hero with a secret identity" that inspired subsequent literary creations such as Don Diego de la Vega (El Zorro) and Bruce Wayne (the Batman). The popularity of the novel encouraged Orczy to write a number of sequels for her "reckless daredevil" over the next 35 years. The original play was performed to great acclaim in France, Italy, Germany, and Spain, while the novel was translated into 16 languages.

Story
Ghost stories date back centuries, but those written in the Victorian era have a unique atmosphere and dark beauty. Michael Sims, whose previous Victorian collections Dracula’s Guest (vampires) and The Dead Witness (detectives) have been widely praised, has gathered twelve of the best stories about humanity’s oldest supernatural obsession. The Phantom Coach includes tales by a surprising and often legendary cast, including Charles Dickens, Margaret Oliphant, Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, and Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as lost gems by forgotten masters such as Mary E. Wilkins Freeman and W. F. Harvey. Amelia B. Edwards’s chilling story gives the collection its title, while Ambrose Bierce ("The Moonlit Road"), Elizabeth Gaskell ("The Old Nurse’s Story"), and W. W. Jacobs ("The Monkey’s Paw") will turn you white as a sheet. With a skillful introduction to the genre and notes on each story by Sims, The Phantom Coach is a spectacular collection of ghostly Victorian thrills.

Now, Bram Stoker's Dracula - the pinnacle of Gothic horror for generations - rises again. When young English lawyer Jonathan Harker arrives in Transylvania on the eve of Saint George's Day, he cannot shake a strange feeling of uneasiness. The air grows colder as he arrives at his destination: the castle of Count Dracula. Jonathan has been summoned by the count for business, and while he finds his new host obliging and polite, he can't help but notice the man's pallid skin, odd lack of appetite, and long daytime absences.

Tess of the d'Urbervilles is the 19th century novel lately thought to be one of the inspirations of E .L.James' Fifty Shades of Grey. It depicts the life of an impressionable, naive, somewhat educated young woman who yearns to be free to live her own life, but finds herself constricted by the bonds of the sexual, religious and socially hypocritical customs that have surrounded her from birth.

Timeless...
Surprisingly, I've never read this story before, partly because of my knuckleheaded belief that ALL horror stories were, um, horrible! Fortunately, I've come to discover this is untrue. I like good writing, and I find myself picking up some of the classics that I dismissed while growing up... Yes, this is a classic, a period piece, but this story is absolutely timeless. Sure the language used is a bit archaic, but it helps set the tone and flavor of the tale.
J D Kelly is a simply marvelous storyteller, and he breathed vibrant life into this marvelous story!

A classic
A classic tale which still stands the test of time, from a master of writing.
It is 150 years since this was written, yet in many ways it is prophetic of todays drug culture.
Narration is excellent and captures the mood and the times.
An excellent choice of a read that dips you into Victorian London.

A Well-Read Classic
How can you give this classic thriller anything less than 5 stars? The reading is well done and the story is just as thrilling as I remember it from previous readings for academic purposes. A word of caution though. The language is Stevenson's, lyrical and poetic, but it isn't something you can easily follow while doing the dishes or playing with the kids - not that the story line is suitable for the kids anyway. You need to listen to follow it, but it's well worth the effort.

A classic tale brought to life
The classic story of good versus evil brought you now on audiobook. The Narrator does an excellent job bringing to life the various characters which inhabit this classic book about unleashing one's darker self to enjoy forbidden pleasures. I hadn't read the book since high school so this was a welcome treat. It's a bit on the short side for an audiobook but functions perfectly well.

An Excellent Narration of a Great Classic
I've always loved this story and JD Kelly does it justice with his narration! The characters are given their own voice and the accents are spot on. Some may have a problem with the language of the time, it is quite different from how we speak today but Mr. Kelly does this without any problems. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this classic and will listen to it many times in the future.

Fantastic rendeition of the old classic
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
This is a classic tale of good versus evil. If you are reading this, you are probably familiar with the story. So I won't bore you with that. This was my first book narrated by JD Kelly. I thought he knocked this out of the park and gave new life to an old story. For me, this was a difficult challenge, given the style of writing. Definitely worth checking out if you are a fan of the story and want to experience it a new way.

Good to finally hear it
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde -- it's become a turn of phrase instantly recognizable regardless of whether or not you've read the whole story. I was one that had not, but am now glad that I did.
There are no surprises here for anyone who is familiar with the concept of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde at the very least, but it is good to hear in greater detail what happened and why.
The older style of speaking and writing may become a bit distracting, but stick with it, it's good stuff.The narrator did an excellent job with the reading as well.
I was provided this audiobook free of charge in exchange for my honest review. At just under 3 hours, it's definitely worth a listen.

Classic thriller
Most of the book was written as a psychological thriller leading up to the reveal of the relationship between Jekyll and Hyde, which everyone already knows, but still a good read for fans of classic monsters like Dracula and Frankenstein.
Good narrator.
