About the author
Robert Louis Stevenson
8,042 books7,316 followersRobert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of English literature. He was greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov.
Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their narrow definition of literature. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson's popularity and allow him a place in the Western canon.

This story was an excellent read, save for the confusing way the book was written. I reccomend to take the book slow to really "get" it.

Picked this up for a local Gilmore Girls book club and I’m honestly surprised I never read it before now. At its core, it’s about repression and self-denial, and how refusing parts of yourself never leads to peace. The parts we push away usually ask to be seen. The writing feels rough in spots because of the age of the story, but it’s worth it.

you have to get used to the writing, but it's a fantastic story. even though I know the story, reading it still gave me goosebumps. not an overly scary story if you're not familiar with the tale - more suspense.
