n Kalynn Bayron's My Dear Henry, a gothic YA remix of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, sixth in the Remixed Classics series.
London, 1885.
Gabriel Utterson, a 17-year-old law clerk, has returned to London for the first time since his life— and that of his dearest friend, Henry Jekyll—was derailed by a scandal that led to his and Henry's expulsion from the London Medical School. Whispers about the true nature of Gabriel and Henry's relationship have followed the boys for two years, and now Gabriel has a chance to start again.
But Gabriel doesn't want to move on, not without Henry. His friend has become distant and cold since the disastrous events of the prior spring, and now his letters have stopped altogether. Desperate to discover what's become of him, Gabriel takes to watching the Jekyll house.
In doing so, Gabriel meets Hyde, a a strangely familiar young man with white hair and a magnetic charisma. He claims to be friends with Henry, and Gabriel can't help but begin to grow jealous at their apparent closeness, especially as Henry continues to act like Gabriel means nothing to him.
But the secret behind Henry's apathy is only the first part of a deeper mystery that has begun to coalesce. Monsters of all kinds prowl within the London fog—and not all of them are out for blood...

      Clifford Samuel's low, melodious voice sounds like it was made for this atmospheric queer retelling of the Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde story. Gabriel is a 17-year old clerk living in Victorian London who is trying desperately to figure out what happened to his best friend and former lover, Henry Jekyll, who suddenly disappeared after his father discovered their relationship. When an eerily familiar stranger named Hyde arrives in town, Gabriel begins to sense something is terribly wrong. Samuel brings plenty of drama to his performance, heightening the story's tension, and does an expert job with the subtle distinctions between Henry's voice and Hyde's. His excellent narration helps when the plot drags a bit in the middle; fans of historical fantasy will not be disappointed. L.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
