Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, best known for his works in the horror and Gothic genre. He is widely regarded as one of the great horror storytellers of the 19th century and is remembered for his classic tales such as “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” (1886), a chilling exploration of the duality of human nature, and “The Body Snatcher” (1884), a gripping tale of murder and medical malfeasance. Despite his relatively short life, Stevenson left a lasting legacy in the horror genre and continues to be widely read and celebrated to this day.
