title: The Wolf of Dorian Gray: A Werewolf Spawned by the Evil of Man (Volume 1)
author:  Brian Ference 
description: The Wolf of Dorian Gray: A Werewolf Spawned by the Evil of Man is the first book of a series revolving around the classic figure of Dorian Gray and his struggles with evil, which takes the form here of the last remaining wolf in 1800s England. <br /><br />As in the original Oscar Wilde Portrait of Dorian Gray, Dorian faces the temptations of wicked forces and the drive to be good; but unlike Portrait, a wolf enters the picture to grow from a persecuted, hunted beast into a dangerous, malevolent force that enters London with malevolent intentions.<br /><br />In this scenario Dorian may be the only force that can stop or transform it - or, is he just another pawn in the devil&apos;s game?<br /><br />From artist Sage&apos;s relationship with the enigmatic and handsome Dorian Gray and the reasons behind her attraction to him (&quot;Dorian is my dearest friend. He is kind and has a pure soul and a simple nature. You&apos;ll try to influence him or spoil him somehow. This is the one person who adds more to my art then I could ever explain and I couldn&apos;t stand to lose him.&quot;) to Dorian&apos;s sexual exploits with Sibyl and the mirrored experiences of wolf and Dorian as they become more confident about their prowess and places in the world, The Wolf of Dorian Gray crafts a masterful synthesis of two disparate characters who find their journeys and perspectives coalescing.<br /><br />Rarely does romance and revenge intersect so pleasurably and delicately, forming a dance of passion and purpose that embraces a soul search and a confrontation between choices of salvation and sin.<br /><br />The result is especially recommended as a concurrent read with Wilde&apos;s original masterpiece, taking the original Portrait&apos;s complexity a step further in adding a werewolf into the evolution of an entirely new facet of Dorian Gray&apos;s persona, complete with a surprise conclusion examining who is truly monster and who is master.<br /><br />Literary readers with the original in hand will relish this wide-ranging, thought-provoking extrapolation on Dorian&apos;s theme.<br /><br /><b>- D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review</b><br /><br />&quot;Ference&apos;s debut puts a twist on Oscar Wilde&apos;s classic<i>The Portrait of Dorian Gray</i>, adding the dimension of a wild beast. The arrangement smoothly parallels the original...Victorian gentleman Dorian remains stunningly handsome after his youthful self is captured by an exceptionally talented artist in an eerily powerful painting. However, Dorian is not alone in this portrait; also depicted is a wolf cub, and after the painting is hidden away, the wolf is the one to change. A element of intense violence is added to this version, and there are some gender swaps, but the plot of a young man led astray into lusty debauchery remains the same. Passions and betrayals abound. Ference lifts some lines from Wilde&apos;s text and adds his own gift for description: &apos;Flowers, bright in sapphire blue and crimson reds, sang out from every corner of the ornately decorated room.&apos;&quot;<div><div><b></b></div><div><b> <br /></b><b>- Publishers Weekly</b></div></div>

  It’s been five years since I saw him last and I I can’t stop thinking about him…
