The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde’s classic tale
set in modern times and told as he would have done…had
he dared. It is a dark and twisted story filled with
moral decline, depravity, sex, and ruthless blackmail.
This story is not a mere retelling of Wilde’s tale, but
strikes out in new directions, taking the reader on an
unpredictable journey with an unknown destination.
Dorian Gray is a young, college freshman, attending his
first semester at Indiana University. There he meets
Caleb Black, who becomes his obsession. While pursuing
Caleb, Dorian acts on the advice of an older
acquaintance, Seth, who encourages him to indulge in all
life has to offer. Dorian’s world is filled with
delights; it is a buffet of sexy, young college boys all
Dorian’s for the taking. While Dorian satisfies his
desires and lust, he grows ever closer to his destiny
and the truth of the portrait that calls to him from the
darkness.
The Picture of Dorian Gray is a tale of love, lust,
depravity, romance, friendship, and Dorian’s inner
struggle to save his own soul.
This novel includes mature content and is not
recommended for younger readers.
