Hiding Jekyll (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781326873899)

"In a world of corruption and greed none are as bad as the infamous Hyde, a man whose only pleasure is the torture and pain of others. But, even the most thoroughly evil can sense a conscience at times and it is Hyde's determined aim to rid himself of his conscience once and for all. However, in his bid to eradicate what remains of his conscience, he inadvertently creates a new conscience, that of Jekyll, the kindest man you'll ever meet." Hiding Jekyll subverts the thematic undertones of the classic novella revealing the fragility of Victorian men's long held notions of power and authority. It's a perverse look at people who actively pursue power through destruction and those who are bound to follow them. Hiding Jekyll delivers a comical blend of dark humour, satire and a little old fashioned slapstick, that will make you rethink the classic tale with a grin.
