**Unlike any other fantasy book. You will recall Gormanghast as though you once lived there. You'll know the smells, the sounds, the sights and the even the temperature of the stone wall you leant against to get out of the way of Flay as he creaked after Swelter.

This the kind of novel the best fantasy novelists try hard to forget exists - for it is a constant reminder of what they have yet to come close to achieving in their own work.** Enter the world of Gormenghast...

Gormanghast is the vast crumbling castle to which the seventy-seventh Earl, Titus Groan, is Lord and heir. Gothic labyrinth of roofs and turrets, cloisters and corridors, stairwells and dungeons, it is also the cobwebbed kingdom of Byzantine government and age-old ritual, a world primed to implode beneath the weight of centuries of intrigue, treachery, manipulation and murder - a world suggested in a tour-de-force that ranks as one of this century's most remarkable feats of imaginative writing.

Three Books in One Volume :
