Oscar Wilde's only novel is the dreamlike story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty.

In this celebrated work Wilde forged a devastating portrait of the effects of evil and debauchery on a young aesthete in late-19th-century England. Combining elements of the Gothic horror novel and decadent French fiction, the book centers on a striking premise: As Dorian Gray sinks into a life of crime and gross sensuality, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait grows day by day into a hideous record of evil, which he must keep hidden from the world. For over a century, this mesmerizing tale of horror and suspense has enjoyed wide popularity. It ranks as one of Wilde's most important creations and among the classic achievements of its kind.

Lucas is a boy trapped in his own thoughts, trapped in a world of loneliness. His ADHD makes it hard to concentrate, and his creative mind offers him only a temporary escape. At school, he is the target of bullies. At home, no one seems to really see him. Even his psychologist-who is paid to help-doesn't seem to understand the depth of his pain. But there is more to Lucas than anyone suspects. What begins as small acts of rebellion-lying, stealing-slowly evolves into something much darker. His anger and loneliness take on increasingly grotesque forms. He has no way out, except the destructive power he discovers within himself. Each time he strikes, he leaves a message behind: "Alone." A word the world doesn't understand until it's too late. As the line between art and horror blurs, Lucas loses his grip on reality. His masterpieces become violent, gruesome, and irreversible. Eventually, there is only one way left. But can he escape the echo of his own despair, or will loneliness swallow him up forever?

After graduating from Oxford, Oscar Wilde takes to self-publishing his poems in an effort to get the recognition he needed to make a living on his work. The reception is mixed with harsh criticism and effusive praise. Unfortunately, the poems fail to be the debut he needs. As for the poetry itself, it begins the journey toward Dorian Gray and the indecency that British society will decry him for. Even now, in the early stages of indecency, Oscar Wilde manages to get himself in trouble with the father of his roommate. Shortly thereafter, he's tossed out of the house where he was living with roommate Frank Miles. Ironically, this move that dislocates his social life leads to the unique opportunity to entertain American elites and make some money while doing so. With no reason to remain in England after the disaster with Frank, Oscar immediately grabs onto the idea. And so begins his rise to fame.
