Peake Mervyn Series

Mervyn Peake was an English modernist writer and artist, best known for his Gormenghast novels. These stories follow the protagonist Titus Groan from cradle to grave, though they were originally conceived as part of a longer cycle. Peake's surreal style, influenced by Dickens and Stevenson, diverges from traditional fantasy. Beyond novels, he also penned poetry, short stories, and plays, though he achieved little commercial success during his lifetime.
