Le Fanu - Carmilla Robert Louis Stevenson - The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. HydeOne of the earliest in Robinson’s, an attempt at reviving the Century … books from the ‘thirties, and the editor seems to have taken the “revival” aspect perhaps a little too literally as he’s cherry-picked the best from Wheatley’s A Century Of Horror and Hugh Walpole’s two volumes of …. Creepy Stories! But you certainly get your money’s worth with added bonus novels The Turn Of The Screw and The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde, neither of which, as far as i'm aware, we've ever really commented upon!
