“The Late Gatsby” reveals the true depravity and horror lying just beneath the surface of the roaring twenties. The mysterious arrival of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby coincides with a series of strange disappearances, sparking rumors and rekindling superstitions. What is hiding in Gatsby’s gothic mansion? How does it relate to the alluring Daisy Buchanan? Is there an impending vampire apocalypse, or has everyone just had too much to drink? And what’s the deal with all the mosquitoes? Recently discovered among F. Scott Fitzgerald’s papers, this early and uncensored version of “The Great Gatsby,” written in collaboration with S. A. Klipspringer, was suppressed for almost 90 years. Fitzgerald’s editor encouraged him to publish a fictionalized and sanitized version, claiming that “humanity just isn’t ready… to face this shocking truth.” Fitzgerald’s collaborator refused to cooperate and removed his name from the published work. He planned to publish his own version of the events but soon disappeared under unexplained circumstances. Now, for the first time, you may read the complete, horrific, and true story of Jay Gatsby.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was an American writer of novels and short stories, whose works have been seen as evocative of the Jazz Age, a term he himself allegedly coined. He is regarded as one of the greatest twentieth century writers. Fitzgerald was of the self-styled "Lost Generation," Americans born in the 1890s who came of age during World War I. He finished four novels, left a fifth unfinished, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth, despair, and age. He was married to Zelda Fitzgerald.
