About This Audiobook

Titus Groan is a feast for the imagination, a sprawling, atmospheric tale set in the decaying Gormenghast Castle. Mervyn Peake's prose is rich and vivid, painting a world that's as grotesque as it is beautiful. Rupert Degas' narration brings this world to life, his deep, resonant voice perfectly capturing the story's dark, opulent tone. This isn't your typical horror; it's a slow burn, a gradual descent into the bizarre and the unsettling. It's distinctive, it's unique, and it's an experience unlike any other.

Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Rupert Degas is a master of his craft, his narration of Titus Groan a testament to his skill. He navigates the complex cast of characters and the intricate plot with ease, his voice shifting seamlessly between the grotesque and the sublime. The pacing is slow, but it's a slow burn that's worth it. Peake's world-building is extraordinary, and Degas' narration allows you to fully immerse yourself in it. My only critique is that the slow pace might be a turn-off for some listeners. But if you're willing to invest the time, Titus Groan is a rewarding listen. The production is top-notch, with no background noise or awkward pauses to distract from the story.
