At the end of this month, friends and fans of Big Finish's eternally young Dorian Gray will bid an emotional farewell when we release The Confessions of Dorian Gray - Series 5, the last set in the range.

Today, for anyone who has pre-ordered the set on either Download or CD, then the penultimate story is now available - Alexander Vlahos and Sarah Douglas star in David Llewellyn's The Valley of Nightmares:

Los Angeles, 1948. Reunited in the heart of the Hollywood Hills, Dorian Gray and Dorothy Parker quickly find themselves embroiled in a conspiracy that takes them behind-the-scenes of the region’s booming movie industry. But how much of it is an act…?

We apologise to users of the Big Finish app that this pre-release cannot be downloaded through it. Instead, to download this story on either MP3 or Audiobook format, go to your Big Finish log-in, and in the My Account section, find The Confessions of Dorian Gray Series 5 in the "Ordered But Not Released" section. You should then find a download link enabling you to listen to the third episode of this final set...

The Confessions of Dorian Gray - Series 5 will be released at the end of October, and is currently priced at £18 on Download and £20 on CD (a purchase which instantly makes a digital release available). On its general release at the end of November, this will go up to £20 and £25 respectively, so make the most of these special prices!

The entire The Confessions of Dorian Gray range can be found here, including Dorian helping save the universe in The Worlds of Big Finish, as well as the previous releases in the Dorian Gray range.
