Description

The Curse of Capistrano is a 1919 novella by Johnston McCulley and the first work to feature the fictional character Zorro (zorro is the Spanish word for fox). After the enormous success of the 1920 film adaptation, The Mark of Zorro, the story was republished under that name. Prior to being published in novella form, The Curse of Capistrano appeared as five serialized installments in the pulp magazine All-Story Weekly.

  • Señor Zorro has my heart!

    I grew up in part on Zorro. I watched the movies, pretended to be him, and my dad even came up with our own campfire story about him for my brother and I. All these years later, I’ve circled back to him and have finally read the book that started it all, and it does not disappoint in the slightest. Ride on, Señor Zorro! 🖤

  • So much fun to read

    Such a fun story. Everything you expect for the classic pulp stories of the past. Swashbuckling adventure, romance, mysteries, and heroism. The chapters are very short, making for some quick pick-up-and-read sessions. A must read for any Zorro fan who only know the character from the excellent Disney 1957 series or the more famous Antonio Banderas The Mask of Zorro movie.

  • A lot of fun

    It’s pulpy, and you can guess its secrets from the first chapter, but this book is always very entertaining. I think the author knows we know, and freely takes the joke as far as he can, with hilarious and occasionally thrilling results. If the ending is slightly too cheery, well, it was penned in 1919, after all. Enjoy!
