Imagine Edgar Allan Poe in London encountering Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde. This book takes you there-- through the shadowy back streets
to the heart of darkness where the esteemed Dr. Jekyll's
uninhibited and uncontrolled double dwells. This remix of the
famous novel by Robert Louis Stevenson includes added new chapters
featuring Poe, author of classic tales of terror and double selves.
In addition, sections of Stevenson's tale have been seamlessly
rewritten to include Poe in the famous story. The presence of Poe
amplifies themes present in Stevenson's original story. By
re-imagining the famous tale of a doppelganger, Jordan is able to
explore philosophical and literary ideas related to the theme of
doubles while also providing the same fast action and dream-like
setting in London as the original. NOTE: Also included is THE
ENTIRE ORIGINAL NOVEL BY STEVENSON, plus an essay on the writing of
the remix, plus hand-drawn illustrations by the author. "This
fantastic new version of Stevenson's tale is sure to be a classic
in its own right." -- Michael Meloan, co-author of THE SHROUD.
"Matt Dukes Jordan is scouting the misfit masters and scouring the
margins of mondo-Americana." -- Carlo McCormick, PAPER magazine "It
rolls off nicely." -- Charles Bukowski in a letter to Jordan
regarding a short story by Jordan.
