The Gormenghast Trilogy: Titus Groan, Gormenghast, Titus Alone (Mervyn Peake)

Very large paperback

A fantasy series by British author Mervyn Peake, about the inhabitants of Castle Gormenghast, a sprawling, decaying, Gothic structure.

Although the first two books do not contain any overtly fantastical elements, Gormenghast is almost unanimously categorised as fantasy because of the atmosphere and pseudo-medieval setting. The series has received widespread acclaim from the speculative fiction community and mainstream literary critics.

Literary critic Harold Bloom has praised the series as the best fantasy novels of the 20th century and one of the greatest sequences in modern world literature.

In George R. R. Martin's book series A Song of Ice and Fire a House Peake is mentioned, ruling the castle of Starpike. The present Lord Peake is called Titus. Tales of Dunk and Egg feature a Lord Gormon Peake, and The World of Ice & Fire mentions Lord Unwin Peake's bastard brother Mervyn Flowers.
