Abstract: Titus Groan, heir to Lord Sepulgrave, has just been born. A Groan of the strict lineage, Titus, the seventy-seventh, will inherit miles of rambling stone and mortar that form Gormenghast Castle, and its surrounding kingdom. His world will be predetermined by complex ritual, the origins of which are lost in time; it will be peopled by the dark characters who inhabit the half lit corridors. Lord Sepulgrave, a figment of melancholy, and his redhaired Countess; Swelter the chef and his bony enemy Flay; Prunesquallor, castle physician, and his etiolated sister, Irma; and not least - Steerpike, the Machiavellian youth.
