Christmas - Stories from the Dark Side

Written by Robert Louis Stevenson, Anton Chekhov and Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Narrated by David Shaw-Parker, Tom McLean and Ghizela Rowe

Christmas may come but once a year but evil, intrigue and malevolence are everyday events.

Within this volume Christmas is a time when these dark forces form and coalesce to take life and liberty from people who may and who may not deserve the spin of its wheel.

Some are merely evil, others have the beginnings of a conscience that displays itself in a dialogue with the devil, or perhaps only themselves.

But, in this volume Christmas takes a ringside seat to the horrors of the human heart.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish poet, novelist, and travel writer. Born the son of a lighthouse engineer, Stevenson suffered from a lifelong lung ailment that forced him to travel constantly in search of warmer climates. Rather than follow his father’s footsteps, Stevenson pursued a love of literature and adventure that would inspire such works as Treasure Island (1883), Kidnapped (1886), Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), and Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (1879).
