In Dorian Gray's Shadow : The Curse That Created Gatsby

Rate this book
Step into the shadows where art, decadence, and obsession intertwine.
When F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda retreat to the French Riviera, they expect sunshine and escape but instead discover an ancient curse hidden within a tattered copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray. As Scott wrestles with his failing marriage, writer’s block, and the haunting influence of Wilde’s immortal tale, the boundary between life and literature begins to blur.

Immersed in visions of Gatsby’s glittering parties and Wilde’s dangerous pursuit of beauty, Fitzgerald finds himself drawn into a sinister transformation that fuels his genius at a terrible cost.
Told with literary depth and gothic suspense, In Dorian Gray’s Shadow reimagines the creation of The Great Gatsby as a descent into temptation, obsession, and the price of immortality.

A chilling tale for fans of historical fiction, gothic literature, and dark literary retellings, this novel What would you trade to be remembered forever?
