A gothic horror story set in a storied mansion in a wealthy San Francisco neighborhood. A newly married man discovers that his husband may not be the man he thought. Loosely based on the classic tale The Portrait of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Written by Theodore Gioia and illustrated by Laurelin Gilmore.
“I am only going to tell you this once. Listen carefully. Do whatever you want in the rest of the house but you must follow three rules. One: The picture must always hang in the parlor with nothing else on the walls. Two: Do not look at the picture no matter what you hear. Three: Do not ask about the picture. Do not talk about the picture.”
In a secluded mansion set in a wealthy San Francisco enclave, newly married designer Andy Little discovers that his husband may run much more than a venture fund. As Andy moves into his dream home, the euphoria of newlywed life turns into a chilling mystery as he discovers his husband’s peculiar art collection—which leads Andy on a terrifying journey toward the truth.
This limited edition fine press publication will be hand printed on a Victoria Parallel Platen Press on Arches Rives Lightweight Paper. The book will be hand bound at our bindery in materials that are elegant, tactile, and which reflect themes in the book, one of which is taxidermy. The typefaces are Fournier MT Pro and Mr. Darcy.
The 75 Limited Editions are bound with leopard print Lokta Paper and black book cloth with gold titling on the front and a silk bookmark with a heart-shaped padlock. The endsheets are black Hahnemühle Ingres.
The 25 Deluxe Editions have a more intricate binding structure intended to “imprison” the text-block while still allowing the book to be comfortably read. It includes a gold earring padlock that locks two leather straps together. The binding has a rounded, black calf spine and the cover has gold book cloth and Lokta leopard print paper.
