Enter the world of Gormenghast…the vast crumbling castle to\nwhich the seventy-seventh Earl, Titus Groan, is Lord and heir.\nGothic labyrinth of roofs and turrets, cloisters and corridors,\nstairwells and dungeons, it is also the cobwebbed kingdom of\nByzantine government and age-old rituals, a world primed to implode\nbeneath the weight of centuries of intrigue, treachery,\nmanipulation and murder – a tour de force that ranks as one of the\ntwentieth century’s most remarkable feats of imaginative\nwriting.
