Synopsis "The Jekyll Legacy "

When Hester Lane arrives in England, she swiftly discovers her true identity as Hester Jekyll, niece of the respected Dr. Henry Jekyll. But the inheritance she thought she could claim easily proves to be elusive... the friends she thought she had made are suddenly untrustworthy and aloof... and she finds herself entangled in the frightening mystery of her uncle's past. And as a series of brutal deaths begins and Hester is haunted by a dark, terrifying figure, she is forced to ask a new question: Have we truly seen the last of Dr. Jekyll... or Mr. Hyde?

Robert Bloch, of Jewish descent, wrote hundreds of short stories and about 20 novels, mostly within the noir, horror, and science fiction genres. At the beginning of his career, he published extensively in so-called pulp magazines like Weird Tales. He also wrote numerous film scripts.

He received the Hugo, Bram Stoker, and World Fantasy Awards. For a time, he was president of the Mystery Writers of America association.[3]

Bloch also produced science fiction fanzines, and even worked for a while in vaudeville.

One of his earliest literary friendships was with his mentor H. P. Lovecraft, with whom he maintained a long correspondence. Bloch wrote a large number of stories belonging to the Cthulhu Mythos. In fact, he invented two books frequently cited in the tales of the Mythos cycle: De Vermis Mysteriis and Cultes des Goules (Cult of the Ghouls). Within Lovecraft's circle, he was known as Bho-Block.
