It really is a meditation on the instability of identity, the pressures of Victorian respectability, and the terrifying possibility that good and evil are not opposites but inseparable parts of the same self. Its influence stretches across horror, psychology, crime fiction and modernist literature, yet its clipped, propulsive prose still feels remarkably contemporary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"691\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003eThis edition also gathers several of Stevenson's finest shorter works, including \u003cem data-start=\"772\" data-end=\"791\"\u003eThe Body Snatcher\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"809\"\u003eThe Bottle Imp\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem data-start=\"811\" data-end=\"821\"\u003eMarkheim\u003c\/em\u003e and excerpts from the unfinished \u003cem data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"874\"\u003eWeir of Hermiston\u003c\/em\u003e. Together they showcase the breadth of Stevenson's imagination, moving between Gothic horror, moral fable, supernatural fiction and psychological suspense. An excellent introduction to one of the nineteenth century's most inventive storytellers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1310\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2010 Arcturus Publishing paperback edition with an introduction by Brian Busby.
