Enter the world of Gormenghast. The vast crumbling castle to which
the seventy-seventh Earl, Titus Groan, is Lord and heir. Titus is
expected to rule this Gothic labyrinth of turrets and dungeons,
cloisters and corridors as well as his eccentric and wayward
subjects. Over the course of these three novels-"Titus Groan,"
"Gormenghast," and" Titus Alone"--Titus must contend with a kingdom
about to implode beneath the weight of centuries of intrigue,
treachery, manipulation, and murder.
Peake has been compared to Dickens and Tolkien, but the
Gormenghast trilogy is unique. This true classic is a feast of
words unlike anything else in the world of fantasy, and those who
explore Gormenghast castle will be richly rewarded.
Overlook is publishing this definitive volume to mark the centenary
of the author's birth.
