ABOUT THE BOOK
A brilliantly sustained flight of gothic imagination, and the first novel of the Gormenghast trilogy.
As the novel opens, Titus, heir to Lord Sepulchrave, has just been born. He will inherit the miles of rambling stone that make up Gormenghast Castle, where every event is governed by a complex ritual lost in history and understood only by Sourdust, Lord of the Library. There are tears and strange laughter, fierce births and deaths beneath shadowy ceilings, dreams, violence and disenchantment – all contained within a labyrinth of stone.

Piranesi
Susanna Clarke
Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls.
