  • "Gormenghast" by Mervyn Peake - Book 97.
    Feb 11 2025

    In Gormenghast, Mervyn Peake doubles down on his surreal vision, crafting a gothic maze where time moves in sluggish circles and tradition is a trap. The castle is both character and prison, and its inhabitants, bizarrely fixated on status, seem destined to stumble through their own eccentricities. Steeped in dark humor and absurdity, the novel is a thrilling, labyrinthine journey, as much about unraveling the world’s complexity as it is about losing oneself in it.

  • "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell" by Susanna Clarke - Book 95.
    Jan 28 2025

    To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com

    Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell tells the historically fictive, gothic, fantasy tale of the two practical magicians in London. One is the master, the prim and proper, quiet and concerned Mr Norrell, the other, the apprentice, eager and energetic, daring and audacious, Jonathan Strange. Both believe in the magic they work on, but they have clashing agenda with their own personal benevolence directing them to act with opposing outcomes. Will this be the fall of the practising magician in England, or their rise?
