Gormenghast
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gormenghast refers to the books revolving around the castle Gormenghast, written by Mervyn Peake.
The Gormenghast book series consists of three novels. At least two more (tentatively titled Titus Awakes and Gormenghast Revisited) were planned but never written. As the castle is the setting of only the first two books, it might be more properly called the Titus series. Planned as a bildungsroman spanning the hero's life from birth to death, it was cut short by Peake's own untimely death from Parkinson's Disease. The books are an early influence on the Mannerpunk subgenre.
- Titus Groan (1946)
- Gormenghast (1950)
- Titus Alone (1959)
Gormenghast (miniseries) was a four-episode mini series produced by the BBC in 2000.
A short story, Boy in Darkness (1956), shares the setting of the Gormenghast novels. It was made into a short film by the BBC Drama Lab in 2000.
