Excellent short stories!, 12 Mar 2004
In case you're wondering,the title of this book means"contrary to the course of the Sun",and I discovered that interesting fact from a note at the beginning of this edition.This whole book is very interesting; the stories are mainly ghost stories,the best-known being The Beckoning Fair One, about a set of rooms haunted by a beautiful woman who never actually shows herslf,but who is very jealous,and The Cigarette Case,a classic tale about two men who dine with two elegant ladies in a gorgeous house,then go back the next day to find the house dilapidated and everything covered in dust.
All is good here;I particularly liked Benlian,a strange tale wherein a man builds a statue of his god and then attempts to pass bodily into it.That was one I couldn't get out of my mind,and also Rooum had me going for a while.If you think there's nothing spooky about crane operators,this will make you think again!
These stories are fresh and original,and will keep you engrossed till the end.I enjoyed them,and I hope you will too.

Good selection of H.P. Lovecraft's works., 23 Apr 1999
This is the first time I have ready anything H.P. Lovecraft has written. I enjoyed them and have bought other books of similar nature. Joyce C. Oats chose a good cross section of tales, and it would be good for those that are not familiar with Lovecraft's writtings. i would recommend this book to anyone.

An excellent intro to Lovecraft literature, 14 Jul 1998
I found this collection a superb introduction to the works of H. P. Lovecraft, starting with some shorter tales and including such Lovecraft classics as "The Dunwich Horror" and "At the Mountains of Madness". The unitiated can obtain a taste of the unholy,foetid, dripping putrescence of Lovecraftian descriptions to determine if one's interest into further perusal of the Chthulu Mythos, the Great Old Ones, and the works found in the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred's "Necronomicon" is warranted.

Not my first choice for Lovecrtaft, 11 Feb 1998
While this is an attractive volume, well-printed andwell-bound, and does include a nice selection of Lovecraft's best, I would not recommend it. I really enjoyed Ms. Oates' notes in the front of the front of the book: interesting and well-written, so what's my problem? She provides synopses of the stories, giving away the plot and ending. What fun is it to read a novel, when you've been told the ending in advance?

In case you're wondering,the title of this book means"contrary to the course of the Sun",and I discovered that interesting fact from a note at the beginning of this edition.This whole book is very interesting; the stories are mainly ghost stories,the best-known being The Beckoning Fair One, about a set of rooms haunted by a beautiful woman who never actually shows herslf,but who is very jealous,and The Cigarette Case,a classic tale about two men who dine with two elegant ladies in a gorgeous house,then go back the next day to find the house dilapidated and everything covered in dust.
All is good here;I particularly liked Benlian,a strange tale wherein a man builds a statue of his god and then attempts to pass bodily into it.That was one I couldn't get out of my mind,and also Rooum had me going for a while.If you think there's nothing spooky about crane operators,this will make you think again!
These stories are fresh and original,and will keep you engrossed till the end.I enjoyed them,and I hope you will too.

Good selection of H.P. Lovecraft's works., 23 Apr 1999
This is the first time I have ready anything H.P. Lovecraft has written. I enjoyed them and have bought other books of similar nature. Joyce C. Oats chose a good cross section of tales, and it would be good for those that are not familiar with Lovecraft's writtings. i would recommend this book to anyone.

An excellent intro to Lovecraft literature, 14 Jul 1998
I found this collection a superb introduction to the works of H. P. Lovecraft, starting with some shorter tales and including such Lovecraft classics as "The Dunwich Horror" and "At the Mountains of Madness". The unitiated can obtain a taste of the unholy,foetid, dripping putrescence of Lovecraftian descriptions to determine if one's interest into further perusal of the Chthulu Mythos, the Great Old Ones, and the works found in the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred's "Necronomicon" is warranted.

Not my first choice for Lovecrtaft, 11 Feb 1998
While this is an attractive volume, well-printed andwell-bound, and does include a nice selection of Lovecraft's best, I would not recommend it. I really enjoyed Ms. Oates' notes in the front of the front of the book: interesting and well-written, so what's my problem? She provides synopses of the stories, giving away the plot and ending. What fun is it to read a novel, when you've been told the ending in advance?

Excellent short stories, but somewhat puzzling, 10 Feb 2004
Oliver Onions' work is different from what many people imagine early C20th ghost stories to be, and in truth they are probably better described as psychological tales with some supernatural elements. It may benefit a prospective buyer of this book to know that the tales are more likely to feature lonely craftsmen going quietly mad in their garrets rather than animated corpses and vengeful phantoms. The ghosts are more implied than explicit.

The stories are beautifully-written, and Mr. Onions takes great pains to bring his descriptions to life. At times, however, this can be cloying, and from time to time his nouns seem to collect adjectives as a ship's hull collects barnacles.

A few of the tales are quite long, up to about fifty pages, but they are interspersed with shorter stories of around ten pages. I particularly enjoyed Rooum, The Beckoning Fair One, The Real People (in which a writer's fictional characters obtain a curious sort of foothold in the real world), Benlian and The Smile of Karen- this last having no discernable ghost in it, but good notwithstanding.

I have given this four stars, as sometimes the stories seemed to drown in florid prose and peter out leaving me rather puzzled and still expecting some sort of ghost to make an appearance. Perhaps MR James suits me better.

All is good here;I particularly liked Benlian,a strange tale wherein a man builds a statue of his god and then attempts to pass bodily into it.That was one I couldn't get out of my mind,and also Rooum had me going for a while.If you think there's nothing spooky about crane operators,this will make you think again!
These stories are fresh and original,and will keep you engrossed till the end.I enjoyed them,and I hope you will too.

Good selection of H.P. Lovecraft's works., 23 Apr 1999
This is the first time I have ready anything H.P. Lovecraft has written. I enjoyed them and have bought other books of similar nature. Joyce C. Oats chose a good cross section of tales, and it would be good for those that are not familiar with Lovecraft's writtings. i would recommend this book to anyone.

An excellent intro to Lovecraft literature, 14 Jul 1998
I found this collection a superb introduction to the works of H. P. Lovecraft, starting with some shorter tales and including such Lovecraft classics as "The Dunwich Horror" and "At the Mountains of Madness". The unitiated can obtain a taste of the unholy,foetid, dripping putrescence of Lovecraftian descriptions to determine if one's interest into further perusal of the Chthulu Mythos, the Great Old Ones, and the works found in the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred's "Necronomicon" is warranted.

Not my first choice for Lovecrtaft, 11 Feb 1998
While this is an attractive volume, well-printed andwell-bound, and does include a nice selection of Lovecraft's best, I would not recommend it. I really enjoyed Ms. Oates' notes in the front of the front of the book: interesting and well-written, so what's my problem? She provides synopses of the stories, giving away the plot and ending. What fun is it to read a novel, when you've been told the ending in advance?

Excellent short stories, but somewhat puzzling, 10 Feb 2004
Oliver Onions' work is different from what many people imagine early C20th ghost stories to be, and in truth they are probably better described as psychological tales with some supernatural elements. It may benefit a prospective buyer of this book to know that the tales are more likely to feature lonely craftsmen going quietly mad in their garrets rather than animated corpses and vengeful phantoms. The ghosts are more implied than explicit.

The stories are beautifully-written, and Mr. Onions takes great pains to bring his descriptions to life. At times, however, this can be cloying, and from time to time his nouns seem to collect adjectives as a ship's hull collects barnacles.

A few of the tales are quite long, up to about fifty pages, but they are interspersed with shorter stories of around ten pages. I particularly enjoyed Rooum, The Beckoning Fair One, The Real People (in which a writer's fictional characters obtain a curious sort of foothold in the real world), Benlian and The Smile of Karen- this last having no discernable ghost in it, but good notwithstanding.

I have given this four stars, as sometimes the stories seemed to drown in florid prose and peter out leaving me rather puzzled and still expecting some sort of ghost to make an appearance. Perhaps MR James suits me better.

THIS IS GREAT!, 29 Apr 2008
This book is a Ladybird Horror Classic book, which is a series of books; the collection includes Dracula, Frankenstein and the Mummy. Obviously, this book is in it too. It is quite well known and loved but still it is a horrifying story. Here is a brief summary of it.

Characters
The main characters are Dr. Jekyll/ Mr Hyde, Mr Utterson, Mr Enfield, Dr Lanyon and Poole. Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde are one person.

Settings
The story is set in a few different parts of a big busy city: a dismal place where Mr Hyde lived; a busy place where Mr Utterson, and his good friend, Mr Enfield walked on Sundays; finally, the home Dr Jekyll where he had his laboratory and his big lounge where he had a party and discussion with Mr Utterson.

Plot
There are two sides of one man: Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Dr Jekyll is a good, popular person; on the other hand, Mr Hyde was ill natured and hated. He goes out doing bad things and goes into the good body so he doesn't get caught. What will happen if anyone ever finds out?

Rating and recommendation
I would rate this book 9/ 10 and would recommend it to all children who like scary stories!

Useful Classroom Tool, 10 May 2007
Clearly this is a classic masterpiece and I won't go into the details of the story, however my review is more based around the practical aspects of this particular edition. It is one of the only books that I purchase every year and am able to sell on to my students. My students have to study this text and because of the low cost version even my poorest students are able to purchase a copy for themselves because of this edition. This is an excellent educational tool as it allows the students to annotate their copy which is extremely useful when they sit to do their coursework. Thank you Dover Thrift for making it possible for my students to succeed.

A psychological drama of the dual nature of man, 29 Nov 2002
The tale of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde has been quite familiar to me for as long as I can remember, but only now have I read the original short novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It is unfortunate that familiarity has robbed modern readers of the suspense that almost certainly was engendered in Stevenson's contemporary audience. Nor can I attribute a strong hint of terror in these pages, partly because of the plot structure. This is not a straightforward story; we don't follow Dr. Jeckyll in his experimentation. Rather, we are introduced to Jeckyll and Hyde through Jeckyll's lawyer Mr. Utterson. Having drawn up Jeckyll's will to leave everything to Hyde should he disappear, he is most concerned for his client and friend upon learning that Mr. Hyde is a misshapen monster of a man responsible for trampling a young girl in the street. The first half of the book follows Utterson's attempts to discover this Mr. Hyde for himself. The final half of the book contains the story of Jeckyll and Hide, told first in the words of a mutual friend and doctor and ultimately in an account of events penned by the unfortunate Dr. Jeckyll.

It goes without saying that the heart of the story revolves around the duality of the human mind. Each of us has a dark side as well as a good side, and the majority of individuals attempt to disguise any bad, uncontrollable aspects of their natures from the public. Dr. Jeckyll had a predilection for thoughts and acts which he and society frowned upon (although what these acts were is never revealed); as he neared middle age, his life became defined by a continuous inner struggle to keep on the straight and narrow path. He often failed, so he came up with the idea of totally separating his evil nature from his good one. Through the use of chemistry, he developed a solution that, when ingested, transformed him into a different persona in both body and mind, one which had free reign to indulge ano
