Poe, Jekyll, and Hyde: Dreams of Doubles Paperback – Box set, August 6, 2013

A clever reinvention, with Poe as a character in the tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It’s a page-turner with a twist ending.

Matt Dukes Jordan has done a "remix" of Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in which Edgar Allen Poe appears as a character. Poe certainly seems to fit right into the London-based horror story; I didn't find the modifications jarring (but it had been 30 years or so since I read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ).The book contains Jordan's remixed version, followed by the original version of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde , and ends with an essay by Jordan on Poe, Stevenson, the remix, and — Jordan's favorite topic — how civilization is unhealthy for humans.If you love classic horror, be sure to check it out!!

Matt's sense of humor makes the book. Quirky and off-beat in a refreshing style, this hash will entertain you.
