Lord Groan, que ha enloquecido definitivamente y cree estar metamorfoseándose en búho; su esposa, la obesa lady Gertrude, que convive con centenares de pájaros, algunos de los cuales residen entre sus cabellos; el pequeño Titus, el heredero de ojos violeta; Sourdust, el anciano maestro de ceremonias que tiraniza a los trágicos aristócratas. Y Steerpike, el joven cocinero, héroe y villano que confabula para destruir a la familia y conquistar el poder… Este elenco de excéntricos personajes circula por los oscuros corredores del colosal castillo de Gormenghast, tan laberíntico e inabarcable, violento y sofisticado como el universo literario de Peake. Peake murió en 1968 tras una larga enfermedad.
