The Last Confession is the third and final story in The Lost Confessions, a set of The Confessions of Dorian Gray scripts that went previously unmade and have been turned into prose audiobooks.
The Last Confession originally served as the series finale, in place of Ever After, but was replaced prior to production. This release acts as a de facto "second finale" to the series.
Synopsis[]
The Future. Since his experience at the Brigadoon Hotel, Dorian Gray struggles to come to terms with having a soul; and worse, having lost his soulmate. Travelling the world, he hopes to lay some demons to rest... and perhaps even confront the biggest one of all?
Cast[]
- Dorian Gray, Lieutenant Rigby, Commander Anderson, the Man Upstairs, Mina Harker, Basil Hallward, Brennan Doyle - Alexander Vlahos
- The Man Upstairs - Hugh Skinner
Notes[]
- Despite the synopsis stating the story takes place in the future, outside of a dream set in a far future the story is set not that long after the events of All Through the House, which would make it 2016.
- Despite the story being an audiobook, the final chapter "Death in Whitby" becomes a proper audio drama like the rest of the series with Hugh Skinner voicing Lucifer.
- The story starts by parodying Star Trek with Dorian giving the date as being "Stardate 2954 Beta Delta 9".
- In his dream, his sister Isadora Rigby and WWI captain James Anderson are made into lieutenant Rigby and commander Anderson.
- While the story doesn't acknowledge the events of Ever After, at one point Dorian's narration states that it's been an unspecified amount of months since he last slept with someone, presumably referring to when he slept with Lucifer under the belief it was Toby. When confronting Lucifer, the devil states Dorian has spent the last year travelling the world. This provides a time frame for Dorian to be institutionalised, experience the events of Ever After, and somehow escape after his surgery. Given that the 2020 short Isolation was set during the COVID-19 pandemic and showed Dorian alive, it can be presumed he returned to life after Ever After and therefore it's easy to assume that The Last Confession occurred after Ever After and is canon to the overall series.
- Mina Harker references Dorian meeting Sherlock Holmes and Henry Jekyll, and mentions that he's met Thomas Carnacki at one point. She also implies that they made some sort of deal with Lucifer.
