Continuing with bookshelfbattle.com ‘s month long series, “Public Domain Horror Fiction” (a list of classic works of horror with copyrights as dead as the works’ fictional victims), here is a link to Project Gutenberg’s copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.
Obsessed with his own vanity, a man manages to make it so that he remains youthful in appearance forever, while a portrait of him grows old in his stead. Shenanigans ensue. Enjoy!

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.” – Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Really good book this. Good quote!
Thanks – thought it fit in with the book blog theme.
I’ve never actually read it but I should get around to it. It’s not even that long.
