An inimitable writer, artist and poet, Mervyn Peake is best known for his Gormenghast series of books, originally conceived as a lengthy cycle, which was prevented by his death. Set within the pseudo-medieval setting of the sprawling and decaying Castle Gormenghast, these tales present a gallery of eccentric and strange characters, expanded by the author's own visceral illustrations. Having developed a unique style of surreal and unnerving fiction, Peake is now considered by many to be one of the Big Three of Fantasy, along with J. R. R. Tolkien and Robert E. Howard. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Peake's complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
