Reading is my ESCAPE from Reality! rated it 7 years ago
This is a historical horror/thriller story revolving around Robert Louis Stevenson, the story of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, and Jack the Ripper. It alternates between 1880's London and "present day" California. My favorite parts were in the 1880's where Stevenson creates the story of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hy...

The Jekyll Revelation by Robert Masello is a paranormal horror story that carries a curse from 1880's London to present-day California. It kept me reading "just one more chapter" into the wee hours of the morning. I gave it five stars. It alternates chapters between Robert Louis Stephenson's life ...

I've been reading a lot of Young Adult fiction lately, so it was refreshing to read and adult fiction book that still had my favorite elements, paranormal or fantasy. Masello mixes these elements well with the real world. Einstein and the Others I don't know much about Einstein and his history t...
