Titus Groan / Gormenghast / Titus Alone; 1200 pages

Paperback. A doomed lord, an emergent hero, and a dazzling array of bizarre creatures inhabit the magical world of the Gormenghast novels which, along with Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, reign as one of the undisputed fantasy classics of all time. At the center of it all is the seventy-seventh Earl, Titus Groan, who stands to inherit the miles of rambling stone and mortar that form Gormenghast Castle and its kingdom, unless the conniving Steerpike, who is determined to rise above his menial position and control the House of Groan, has his way. In these extraordinary novels, Peake has created a world where all is like a dream — lush, fantastical, and vivid. Accompanying the text are Peake's own drawings, illustrating the whole assembly of strange and marvelous creatures that inhabit Gormenghast. Coming soon as a major, lavishly produced TV series, the Gormenghast novels—"Titus Groan, Gormenghast, " and "Titus Alone"—along with Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings, " reign among the undisputed fantasy classics of all time.
