But like a drug, this new celebrity begins to take him over and he falls deeper under its spell as his musical career soars. Dorian's soul falls away and a monstrous persona slowly moves in as the years progress. Only a photograph taken early in his career and secreted away reveals the horror that he has become. As he enters the new millennium, he is still youthful in appearance, but bereft of friends, moral virtue and true companionship.
