Beauty is but skin deep... or is it?
If you love Us and the Picture of Dorian Gray, then this modern acting school take on the consequences of chasing beauty is hauntingly fantastic!!!
Lauren Stephens crafts a moody, grotesque snd thrilling storyline from the pitfalls of chasing beauty as a sense of control and identity, enmeshed within the annals of Dorisn Gray's portrait.
Lauren take a sharp veer left into the pitfalls of being preserved - your mental, physical and emotional state as a stasis, and it is guttingly thought provoking. The macabre and surrealism suffused into this Gothic and sapphic novel is amazing!! It gives you chills, thrills and claws into your sense of self, forcing you to contend with the why of what's happening and reallize the impact of societal norms... fascinating and superbly sinister!!
My gratitude to St Martin's Press and Netgalley for providing the arc. This was a dark, suspenseful read, best carried out in the dark, away from mirrors....
