Synopsis "Satan's Signature: Jekyll and Hyde, the Invisible Man, and Other Mad Scientists"

"The man's become inhuman, I tell you," said Kemp. "I am as sure he will establish a reign of terror-so soon as he has got over the emotions of this escape-as I am sure I am talking to you."Whether creepily eccentric, dangerously ambitious, or downright villainous, the mad scientist has been influential on the horror genre ever since Dr. Victor Frankenstein created his monster. His literary descendants-found in notable works by writers as varied as Robert Louis Stevenson, Jack London, and H. G. Wells-are collected here in Satan's Signature.Curated and edited by C.S.R. Calloway, Horror Historia brings together the most influential monsters and original gothic stories in one blood curdling collection.

(Edinburgh, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) British novelist, short story writer, poet, and essayist. He entered the University of Edinburgh at the age of sixteen to follow in his father's footsteps and become a lighthouse engineer, a career he would later abandon. His nautical studies allowed him to come into contact with seafaring people and customs, key ingredients in some of his most famous works. His renowned work, Treasure Island, was published under the pseudonym Captain George North in 1881. In 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, one of the great classics of literature, was released. He died on the island of Samoa, at his home, Vailima.
