For she wants not only to know what it is possible to do and how to do it, but to what end she should put her special abilities.

  "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story explores themes of art, beauty, and morality, focusing on the life of a young man named Dorian Gray. Dorian becomes entranced by his beauty and the hedonistic philosophies of Lord Henry Wotton. As he gains fame and pleasure through his youthful looks, he grapples with the implications of vanity and the cost of immortality. 
  At the beginning of the novel, we are introduced to Lord Henry Wotton and the artist Basil Hallward, who has painted a stunning portrait of Dorian Gray. Basil is deeply enamored with Dorian's beauty and harbors a secret affection for him. The opening chapters establish the dynamic between Lord Henry's cynical worldview and Basil's idealism, culminating in Dorian's visit to the studio. 
  Dorian's first encounter with Lord Henry sparks a transformative moment. As they converse, Dorian is exposed to Henry’s hedonistic philosophies, which shape his perception of beauty and life. This chapter sets a tone that hints at the foreboding price Dorian may pay for his fascination with youth and aesthetic pleasure.

  '(An) impressive first collection ... skilfully orchestrated' – Publishers Weekly "starred" review
  'This truly is quality literature of our modern times' – The British Fantasy Society
  'To read Carly Holmes is to be enchanted. Luscious, flowing prose that is never afraid to peer into the wild' – Angela Readman
  Beneath her soft skin covering, my mother was once made of twigs and branches. Sometimes in the autumn I swear there was a gleam of berry in her eye, a sloe-shine peep between the thorny tangle of her lashes.
  In this debut collection of stories Carly Holmes peers into every corner of the strange fiction genre: from rural gothic through to traditional ghost stories and the uncanny. Mothers turn into trees when the sun goes down; Russian Dolls mourn their missing sisters in rotting houses; men offer sacrifices to the monsters who embody their inner wildness; and murderous demons protect young girls' virginity.
  Ranging from flash fiction to novelette, these stories are in turn chilling, playful, and melancholy. The bonds of family and of community, both in their fracturing and their healing states, the uneasy relationship between living in the present and yearning for the past, are themes that thread their way through Figurehead. Every tale is rich with landscapes haunted by loss and longing.
