A chilling retelling of the classic tale of Jekyll and Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson combines old-fashioned thrills with a steampunk sensibility and a time-fluid storyline. Harriet Jekyll’s investigation into her husband’s mysterious death has taken her into a dark and dangerous world. A gothic world of science, taverns and misogyny that no decent Victorian woman has ever dared to enter before. It’s a world she’s desperate to change but in order to do so, she must embrace the creature she’s changing into. As she sets about her bloodthirsty mission, her actions start to bleed into the present day.
