Mr. Byrnes on Jekyll and Hyde


The Gravelight Press edition of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is getting terrific reviews. Sure, we can credit some of this to Stevenson’s classic tale of duality, but what really seems to be drawing the attention of readers is the introduction by Jeffrey D. Keeten. It seems like everywhere we look, it’s “Keeten this…” and “Keeten that…” It’s enough to make hard-working gravelighter feel like a second-string pallbearer at best.

The latest such review is by Will Byrnes, a name that, like Keeten’s, should be well known to anyone who reads reviews on Goodreads; based on his stats there are quite a lot of you. Mr. Byrnes provides his own insights and backgrounds on Jekyll and Hyde, so much so that that we considered nixing Keeten’s review and replacing it with Will’s. But since we know Jeffrey spent a lot of time writing a very thoughtful and well researched introduction, we’ll probably leave it intact. Which is, actually, good news for you, particularly if you’ve yet to read Stevenson’s novella. So go check out Will’s review either on Goodreads or at Coot’s Reviews, and then pick up a copy of the Gravelight edition, available on Amazon and at the online store of our parent company, Devil’s Party Press. In addition to Mr. Keeten’s introduction, it features a bonus story not found in any other edition. We think you’ll like it very much.
