The long-anticipated sequel to the indomitable 'Sarcastic Poetry'; this slim and elegant volume reprises its delectably deep understanding of the 21st Century zeitgeist, alongside the characteristic and markedly exquisite illustrations seen in its predecessor. Accessing major literary themes, both at the personal level and that of the universal, this anthology is leagues ahead of any contemporaries- this is the linguistic Hercules towards which Petrarch aspired, the labour of several long and pensive minutes. Read and understand your own literary talents to be utterly inferior. Your shame and humility is inevitable. Reviews: "This collection is the greyhound of poetry; she is slim, she is sleek, she is refined." - Jerry Saltz. "A wondrous amalgamation of beauty and terror, possibly- nay, certainly- the literary achievement of the century." - Michelangelo Buonarroti. "Makes one truly wonder where the soul resides; for the poet, surely in his fingertips, if not the beating heart which resounds throughout his words." - Ronald McDonald. "What you're doing is incredibly illegal, and blasphemous. God will not forgive you for your sins of necromancy." - The Exhumed Corpse of Thomas More. "I actually can't read." - Your Slow Cousin, Keith.…

Oscar Wilde's only novel is the dreamlike story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty.In this celebrated work Wilde forged a devastating portrait of the effects of evil and debauchery on a young aesthete in late-19th-century England. Combining elements of the Gothic horror novel and decadent French fiction, the book centers on a striking premise: As Dorian Gray sinks into a life of crime and gross sensuality, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait grows day by day into a hideous record of evil, which he must keep hidden from the world. For over a century, this mesmerizing tale of horror and suspense has enjoyed wide popularity. It ranks as one of Wilde's most important creations and among the classic achievements of its kind.…
