About this title

Review

"Pull[s] out all the stops."-"New Yorker" "The dozen wood engravings by Moser will knock you out. . . . You must own it!"-"Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction" "Moser's small, stirring wood engravings will help draw horror fans to the classic novel that has popularized the concept of the double. . . . If you haven't reread it recently, you may be astonished by its suspensefulness and its disquieting power."-"Booklist" "This classic tale . . . addresses the duality in man's nature and is here illustrated with twelve atmospheric woodcuts by Barry Moser that underscore the darkness of Stevenson's tale and continue Moser's legacy of bringing new life to the classics."-"Bloomsbury Review"
