Dorian Gray (Paperback)

The Grays are a cursed family. It has been so as long as anyone can remember. The Grays, they say, don't live very long; victims of there own hedonism. Live fast. Die young. But they are wrong. It is true many of the family are consumed by their addiction to the good life, but the whispered curse allows the Grays a long and luxurious existence. Dorian Gray IV is the last scion of the Gray line. He has grown up with the rumors of how his father, grandfather and even great grandfather became pariahs within the wealthiest circles of New York society; how they squandered, rebuilt and squandered again and again the family fortune on nihilistic whims of fancy. He's heard all the scandalous stories, but he doesn't care. They're all dead. Even Dorian's mother disappeared not long after he was born.
