About this product

Product Information

Gormenghast is 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, and his eccentric and wayward subjects, according to strict age-old rituals, but things are changing in the castle. Titus must contend with treachery, manipulation and murder as well as his own longing for a life beyond the castle walls.

    Accurately described, fairly priced, excellent communication and timely delivery. Through no fault of the sender the book arrived in ripped packaging with damaged pages and having been run over by a pallet truck or similar machinery whilst in transit with Whistle. The sender promptly refunded the purchase price and apologised although blameless. I have no qualms buying from them in the future just in their choice of delivery firm.

  • Gormenghast

    Why does Lord of the Rings get all the credit when this, by any measure of writing quality, is undeniably a better book? Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge devotee (I won't demean it by using the word 'fan') of LotR....but this is just.....better. Richer, darker, chewier. It resonates with all the richness of language.

  • Dip into the Past

    Fabulous book. After a slowish start where I thought the text a bit old fashioned I got into it and found it exciting and very well written.

  • Fantasy Action drama

    This predates Game of Thrones and has as many ,if not more twists and turns in the plot line . Difficult at the start , but soon hooks you in , and is very difficult to put down . Great story.

  • Gormenghast Trilogy

    On some of the reviews I have read and listened to suggest that this book is similar to lord of the rings. It may have some poetry in it but I think it is deeper in gothic themes.

  • Dark, vivid, and extraordinary fantasy.

    I read this first as a 12-year-old but re-reading it is just as compelling. Gormenghast is an extraordinary creation, and Peake is a masterly writer, vivid and as imaginatively fertile as Dickens, but with a gothic twist.
