This is Gormenghast's first page in its entirety (divided up into 3 because scanning straight without creasing the book is hard) and a little bit from page 2.
I left out a bit at the end of part 2 of as there was a spoiler in there for those who'd like to read book 1.
Book 1 is Titus Groan, 2 is Gormenghast, and 3 is Titus Alone.
Together they form the Gormenghast trilogy.
The trilogy wasn't supposed to be a trilogy, and the author died before he could finish his vision, apparently at least 2 more books were planned before Parkinson's disease intervened.
Despite that, I very much recommend it, even if what there is is all there is. It's very unlike any type of read I know and though granted; it is slow, the beauty of its prose is second to none.
