"The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde is a Gothic horror novel that tells the story of Dorian Gray, a young and beautiful man who becomes infatuated with his own image. After having his portrait painted, Dorian makes a Faustian bargain, wishing that the painting would age instead of himself. As Dorian's portrait ages and reflects the true state of his soul, he remains youthful and beautiful, but his obsession with his appearance leads him down a path of sin, debauchery, and ultimately, destruction.
