I bought this book as the story or Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a classic that I remember enjoying when I was in school. However, when re-reading as an adult I actually found this very difficult to read. Most likely because it was written in the 1800's every sentence and paragraph is so long with such different writing than I am used to I'd often find myself re-reading sentences and paragraphs and not holding any information . Jekyll and Hyde is only sixty something pages long but feels like hundreds.
There is also the second short story Markheim which was creepy, but again, couldn't get on with the writing. And the third short story, Thrawn Janet, is written in some sort of Scots dialect and after the third page I just didn't even bother.
I'm not going to finish the other stories sadly as it's just too exhausting to read for me, but a more seasoned reader of classics with a taste for the more gothic and creepy tones of these stories may enjoy it much more than I.
