About the book

Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy is set within the immense and ancient castle of Gormenghast, where generations of the Groan family have lived according to elaborate rituals whose original purposes have largely been forgotten. The story follows Titus Groan, heir to the castle, alongside unforgettable characters including the ambitious Steerpike, the melancholy Sepulchrave and the formidable Swelter. Peake combines Gothic fantasy, dark humour and extraordinarily vivid description to create a unique fictional world concerned with tradition, freedom, identity and rebellion.
