October Classic Crate – A Gothic Double Feature 🕯️
This October, Classic Crate is embracing the darker side of classic literature with two haunting selections: The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson and Hauntings by Vernon Lee.
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
First published in 1886, Stevenson's enduring Gothic tale explores the mysterious connection between the respectable Dr. Henry Jekyll and the sinister Edward Hyde. A dark psychological story of identity, morality, repression, and the hidden lives lurking beneath Victorian society, Jekyll and Hyde remains one of the most influential works of Gothic literature.
Also included are two of Stevenson's chilling short stories, "The Body Snatcher" and "Olalla."
Our October selection is part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith and bound in colorful, tactile cloth with a foil-stamped design.
Hauntings by Vernon Lee
First published in 1890, Hauntings brings together four atmospheric tales of the supernatural in which the past refuses to remain buried.
Set largely against the landscapes and history of Italy, Lee's stories blur the boundaries between past and present, beauty and unease, and the living and the dead. Through art, music, memory, and encounters with the inexplicable, Hauntings showcases Lee's distinctive approach to the ghost story and her place as an important voice in classic supernatural fiction.
