This is such a fun, classic, gothic novel. The Picture of Dorian Gray has lovely imagery and imaginative language. Oscar Wilde did a great job at painting a spooky and eloquent picture of a man gone mad after corrupting his soul. It tells a tale of what can happen to a person if they sell their soul for pleasure, corruption and youth. Almost vampiric in nature, The Picture of Dorian Gray shows Dorian almost draining any goodness he had by his hedonistic, selfish and cruel tendencies. The story of a young, beautiful man painted by an artist who longs to stay young and exquisite looking forever while his painting decays, rots and bares the scars of the wickedness that is in his soul. I definitely recommend this gothic classic for anyone that loves a good, spooky read. The floral print cover was so lovely I had to have it. I found this one on Amazon for those who are interested but I am sure they have some on ebay as well. It was the perfect read to ring in the New Year. There are several huge changes that I am making. Some things have died away while others have bloomed. I cant wait to see what happens in the future and am excited for what is to come. I hope the year sees all of you well and with that I shall go and read my next novel. See you in February!

| Elegant, sexy and disturbing. As a person who has a sibling that is a professional ballet dancer this film kind of hits home haha. It is very freaky and kind of shows dark side of ballet. |

| I really like this. Very interesting commentary on media's obsession with creepy killers, murderers etc. I think it is actually disturbingly accurate even though it is exaggerated. |
This is always a fun one.
