MoodDark, Mysterious

Gormenghast - das mächtige, labyrinthische Schloß, der Stammsitz der Grafen Groan, gehört zwar keiner Zeit an und keinem bestimmten Ort, doch so, wie Mervyn Peake seine phantastische Geschichte erzählt, bleibt weiter nichts unbestimmt ... Im Gegenteil: jede Szene wird grell ausgeleuchtet, wird geradezu furchterregend nahegerückt. Bewohnt wird das Schloß von erstaunlichen Figuren mit ausgesprochenen Mittelstandsallüren, die der Autor so dicht heranführt, daß man sie beinahe berühren könnte. Und den fetten Swelter zu berühren, die massige Lady Gertrude oder den spinnenhaften Mister Flay, das wäre in der Tat ein Schock. Ein Fantasyroman voll schillernder Figuren und einem labyrinthischen Schauplatz, der skurriler nicht sein könnte. Mervyn Peakes zeitloses Meisterwerk ist das Vorbild für viele moderne Fantasyautoren. »Gormenghast« ist von der Hand eines Zauberers geschrieben.
