'The more things are wrong the more we must act as if all were right.' First published in 1884 and inspired by real-life events, 'The Body Snatcher' is a chilling tale of misplaced ambition, guilt and the horrors of unregulated science. Set in nineteenth-century Edinburgh, 'The Body Snatcher' follows two medical students, Fettes and Macfarlane, who become entangled in the grisly world of grave robbing to supply cadavers for their studies. As the moral cost of their actions grows, the pair descend further into darkness as Fettes begins to suspect Macfarlane of more than just stealing bodies… A profoundly haunting and suspenseful tale of ethical decay, Stevenson's iconic short story remains a classic work of psychological and gothic horror. Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet and travel writer. Best known for his novels Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, his worked spanned from romance and adventure writing to gothic dark realism. He remains one of the most translated authors in the world.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson nasceu em Edimburgo a 13 de novembro de 1850. Cursou Direito - sem que alguma vez tenha chegado a advogar - e, pouco depois, apaixona-se por Fanny Osbourne com quem, apesar das diversas atribulações por que passaram, se viria casar. Anos mais tarde contrai tuberculose e muda-se com a mulher e o enteado para a Suíça, onde vive durante um ano. Regressa à Escócia mas o clima só prejudica ainda mais a sua saúde, obrigando-o a mudar-se novamente, desta vez para o Sul de França. Os anos seguintes foram passados à procura de um clima que não agravasse a sua doença, até que finalmente, em 1892, se fixou com a família em Samoa. Foi aí que morreu no dia 3 de dezembro de 1894, vítima de uma hemorragia cerebral. Foi autor, entre outros, de O Estranho Caso do Dr. Jekyll e do Sr. Hyde, e de A Ilha do Tesouro, que o imortalizaram.
