The Strange & Mysterious Tales of F. Scott Fitzgerald - Including the Curious Case of Benjamin Button

F. Scott Fitzgerald,

About this book

From murder mysteries and pirate attacks to fantasies and sci-fi, this collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short stories highlights the skilled versatility of the great American writer.

The tales featured in this short story collection were first published between 1909 and 1926, and include a seminal piece written by F. Scott Fitzgerald when he was just 13. 'The Mystery of Raymond Mortgage' (1909) was lost for 50 years and the early murder mystery demonstrates the influence popular writers of the time, such as Edgar Allan Poe, had on young Fitzgerald. Also featured in this collection of fantasy and horror tales are some of Fitzgerald's most popular short stories, including 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' (1922). The haunting piece follows the protagonist from birth until death, but one thing makes Benjamin different: he's ageing backwards. A biting social commentary, the famous story highlights Fitzgerald's masterful writing ability.

This volume features the following short stories:

- 'The Mystery of Raymond Mortage'

- 'The Ordeal'

- 'Tarquin of Cheapside'

- 'The Offshore Pirate'

- '"O Russet Witch!"'

- 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'

- 'The Adjuster'

- 'Rags Martin-Jones and the Pr-nce of W-les'

- 'The Dance'

Read & Co.'s Fantasy & Horror Classics imprint has republished these short stories in a brand new collection, featuring a specially-commissioned biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald alongside an introductory essay on the Lost Generation writers. This volume would make the perfect gift for fans of The Great Gatsby (1925) and Jazz Age literature.
