Forgotten News: The Crime of the Century and Other Lost Stories (1983) by Jack Finney
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 5.8mb
Overview: In FORGOTTEN NEWS, Jack Finney performs the most remarkable magic of all by taking us back to the cobblestone streets of old New York to find out about Harvey Burdell’s strange death, along with several other equally fascinating stories: the cannibals of the South Pacific who ate their way through 300 shipwrecked sailors; ritualized lunacy on the floor of the Stock Exchange; a trapper’s strange gift to a President; the tragic wreck of a steamship off the coast of Florida.
These amazing tales are illustrated with sharply drawn woodcuts, many taken from actual photographs of the people and places involved. The stories are told in Jack Finney’s inimitable style, yet without a word of dialogue or an incident invented.
With a novelist’s eye for drama and an investigator’s passion for truth, Finney re-creates here a compelling and fascinating past, a treasure trove of FORGOTTEN NEWS.
