The Picture of Dorian Gray

by Oscar Wilde

I wanted to do a creepy story since it is October. I have often heard about the THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY and knew the basic of the story, but didn't know the exact details of the story. The only story I knew from Oscar Wilde was the play THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST and let me just say that there is little in common between these two stories.

THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY is about a man who suffers no consequences from evil acts. There are consequences with all of his actions; he just never has to deal with them. What most people know of this story is that the man's picture changes when he doesn't. This story really delves into how a man's actions change his appearance. I mean these aren't just changes like scars and old age; these delve deeper into facial expressions and more of how the body reacts to the different environments unconsciously.

This book was a lot different than what I expected but I loved it. I recommend reading it just so you can learn about who Dorian Gray really is.

I know the book image doesn't match the title. It is actually a Polish cover done by Maciej Ratajski. I just thought it looked awesome.
