When the wealthy and beautiful Dorian Gray sees his portrait for the first time, he is seized with despair at the thought of losing his youth to time. In a reckless bargain, he pledges his soul so that the portrait will bear the marks of age and corruption while his own face remains flawless. As Dorian pursues a life of decadence and cruelty, the painting grows ever more monstrous--a haunting reminder of the cost of vanity and excess.

First published in 1890 and as unsettling today as it was then, The Picture of Dorian Gray remains a brilliant meditation on beauty, morality, and the peril of unchecked desire.

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is part of the Gothic Chronicles Collection, which also includes Bram Stoker's Dracula, Dante's Inferno, and The Raven and Other Selected Works by Edgar Allan Poe.
