• Gormenghast

Gormenghast, the second novel in Mervyn Peake's acclaimed series, continues the darkly imaginative saga within the immense and decaying castle of Gormenghast. It focuses on Titus Groan as he navigates the labyrinthine corridors and eccentric inhabitants of his ancestral home.

As Titus grows, he becomes increasingly aware of the suffocating rituals and traditions that bind Gormenghast, fueling a desire for escape and a clash with the established order. Meanwhile, the ambitious Steerpike continues his ascent through the castle's hierarchy, weaving a web of intrigue and manipulation that threatens to unravel the very foundations of Gormenghast.

A gothic masterpiece, Gormenghast is a richly atmospheric and philosophical exploration of identity, duty, and the allure of rebellion.
