Set in Victorian London, it follows the story of Dorian Gray, a young man whose portrait ages while he remains eternally youthful due to a Faustian bargain.

Literary critics see Arthur Machen’s works as a significant part of the late Victorian revival of the gothic novel and the decadent movement of the 1890s, bearing direct comparison to the themes found in contemporary works like Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. The White People is a highly influential horror story of a young girl’s discovery of ancient magic. It was written in the late 1890 ...

Welcome to the Portrait of Knox Podcast! The podcast where I read The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde out loud every other week. Why am I doing this? To practice doing different voices so I can be a good DM for my friends when I run my D&D campaign! And because I've wanted to read this book for over six years now. I also provide a mid-episode segment I like to call "The Whiskey Corner" where I try local spirits and give my layman's take on them- however I include a sober episode option ...

ABC Mystery Time came on the air late enough in the Golden Age of Radio that all of the episodes should have survived. This is doubly sad because it was such a terrific program. The network and its affiliates tinkered with the title of the program at times, calling it Masters Of Mystery, Mystery Time Classics, and just plain old Mystery Time. The official name of the program, hosted by Don Dowd, was always ABC Mystery Time. The program did have enough to attract some serious star power, incl ...
