FANDOM NAME: Confessions of Dorian Gray
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Confessions of Dorian Gray (or CODG) is an audio drama series, with episodes ranging from 7 minutes to 2 hours. The basic premise is: what if at the end of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian didn't die but instead spent the next 150ish years in various monsters of the week type scenarios, intersecting with different literary & historical figures, and getting himself caught up in myriad supernatural nonsense?

For the most part, each episode is a stand-alone story. Series 3 is a full storyline, the Series 4 Christmas specials directly pick up where s3 left off, and Series 5 is call-backs to some previous characters, but Series 1, 2, and 4 are all comprised of stand-alone episodes. These episodes feature plotlines like the following:

- Dorian visits a dying Oscar Wilde and discovers that the wallpaper might be literally trying to kill him.
- Dorian gets a vampire boyfriend in the 1980s. Sadness ensues.
- Dorian and Sherlock Holmes team up to deal with an unexpected character from Dorian's past.
- Dorian grapples with a serial killer stalker who knows of his immortality.
- The bodyswap episode.
- Dorian fights a golem with Dorothy Parker!
- Dorian meets his doppelganger, decides to try domesticity, and blurs the lines of dubious consent something fierce.

CODG's version of Dorian Gray has immortality and a remarkably fast healing system, so there's a lot of fun gross noises as Dorian heals from things like falling off a building and getting his heart literally ripped out. This series features a lot of 'oh hey, it's that guy' type of British actors (Alexander Vlahos, Hugh Skinner, Sean Biggerstaff) as well as some Doctor Who/Big Finish regulars (Lalla Ward, Katy Manning, Miles Richardson). This series also features a lot of potential trigger warnings, such as body horror, dubious consent, drug use, and gore. Feel free to drop a comment or shoot me a PM if you're interested in the series and want to know more about specific actors or triggers.

WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): All episode can be found on Bigfinish.com. The prices range from free to $3 for a stand alone episode to around $15 for a full season. You do need a Big Finish account to download the episodes but if you're interested, poke around on coal for a little bit before making an account (wink wink nudge nudge).
