Sinopsis

A daughter who does not arrive at her own funeral. A mother whose state of denial leads her to treat her deceased daughter as if she were still alive. A father who discovers at his daughter's funeral the worst secret any human ever wants to find out. An aunt more concerned about her next date than giving her niece the final farewell. A very peculiar nun. A detective who can't understand what he's looking for. A German who lands at the funeral without knowing that his past will sweep him away like a tsunami. A funeral planner who will try to maintain order in his charming funeral home while stealing your heart. A hybrid genre book between drama and prose that presents an existential dilema right at your face: if life is so ridiculously meaningless, what stops death from being a burst of laughter?

    What would you give to remain flawless forever? One young man gave his soul. 
    In the decadent heart of Victorian London, the exquisitely beautiful Dorian Gray sits for his portrait. Enchanted by his own perfection and corrupted by the cynical, pleasure-seeking Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian makes a desperate, chilling vow: he will remain forever young, while the painted canvas bears the burden of his age and his inevitable moral decay. 
    Freed from the physical consequences of his actions, Dorian plunges into a life of unchecked hedonism, secret sins, and tragic romance. Yet, locked away in his attic, the portrait begins to warp, reflecting the horrific, rotting truth of his soul. As the bodies pile up and the paranoia mounts, Dorian must ultimately face the terrifying reality of his bargain.

Blending lush gothic horror with razor-sharp societal critique, it remains a timeless exploration of humanitys darkest desires. 
    About the Author: Oscar Wilde was a legendary nineteenth century Irish poet and playwright known for his biting wit, flamboyant style, and triumphs on the London stage.

    "The Canterville Ghost" is a novella written by Oscar Wilde. First published in 1887, it is one of Wilde's earlier works and represents a departure from his more famous comedic plays and witty social commentary. Instead, "The Canterville Ghost" is a satirical ghost story that blends humor, romance, and a touch of the macabre. The story is set in Canterville Chase, an English country house, which becomes the residence of an American family, the Otises. The ghost of Sir Simon Canterville haunts the house, but instead of frightening the new occupants, the ghost finds himself confounded by the pragmatic and skeptical American family. The Otises, rather than being scared, respond to the ghost's attempts at haunting with amusement and practical jokes. 
     
    Virginia Otis, the young daughter of the family, takes a different approach. She is compassionate and tries to help Sir Simon find peace by resolving the issues that tie him to the earthly realm. As the story unfolds, it combines moments of comedy with a deeper exploration of themes like forgiveness, redemption, and the impact of American practicality on traditional British ghostly expectations. "The Canterville Ghost" showcases Wilde's ability to infuse a story with both humor and social commentary. The novella satirizes both British and American attitudes toward the supernatural and traditional ghost stories, providing a delightful and thought-provoking reading experience. Over the years, it has become one of Wilde's more enduring and accessible works, appreciated for its wit and imaginative storytelling.
