Disturbing yet compelling, a tale of an almost Faustian pact that enables Dorian Gray to keep his youth and beauty while the picture in the attic becomes twisted and unlovely.

Gruesome, grisly, Gothic horror
There is no true horror than the horror humans create themselves. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a classic tale of hubris and vanity, and the sins that associate themselves with such. Oscar Wilde's macabre style is fascinating for its time, and the idea that the painting is a representation of his Gray's own soul is intelligent.

"“I’m not sure if a book can actually change a person. I’m not even sure if people truly ever change. But I like this book very much. It’s about a drawn-out incestuous love affair between brother and sister. It’s one of the most well-constructed pieces of art I’ve ever encountered. I also love The Picture of Dorian Gray for the same reason."
