An enjoyable little bite of gothic horror. Quite nice to see that there's more to the whole Jekyll/Hyde thing than the cultural idea we have now (as in, it wasn't just "guy has an evil alter ego that is evil and does evil things the end").
It absolutely oozed that gritty dark Victorian London gothic feel and I have no idea *how* but somehow the prose just completely nailed that. It nailed it so hard that I put the score up from 3.75 to 4 as I wrote this review.
