Gothic & Haunted Houses

The Picture of Dorian Gray

by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde's only novel tells the haunting tale of a beautiful young man who sells his soul for eternal youth. As Dorian Gray descends into depravity and corruption, his portrait ages grotesquely while he remains unmarked—a devastating meditation on vanity, morality, and the price of aesthetic perfection.
