Although the book had initially been published as a "shilling shocker," The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was an immediate success and became one of Stevenson's best-selling works. "I had long been trying to write a story on this subject, to find a body, a vehicle for that strong sense of man's double being which must at times come in upon and overwhelm the mind of every thinking creature."
