The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde audiobook.

Genre: horror

In glittering fin-de-siecle London, young Dorian Gray sits for a portrait by the devoted artist Basil Hallward. When Basil introduces him to the witty, world-weary Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian is dazzled by Lord Henry's seductive philosophy: that youth and beauty are life's highest prizes, and that restraint is merely a social mask. As Dorian steps into fashionable society, he discovers how easily admiration can become a kind of power - and how quickly pleasure can harden into appetite. After making a fateful wish tied to the newly finished painting, Dorian begins a double life, outwardly unmarked by time while whispers gather around his name. Friendships strain, love turns dangerous, and the portrait becomes a private ledger of choices he cannot undo. With razor-sharp dialogue and an atmosphere of perfumed decadence, Oscar Wilde's classic novel probes vanity, morality, and the cost of living only for sensation. Dorian must decide whether he can master the influence that remade him, or whether the secrets locked away with the painting will ultimately claim everything he values.
