What do you people think of the Gorgmenghast trilogy (Mervyn Peake). Is is officialy classified as fantasy I think, although most people will not recognize it as that. Perhaps because it is not really a recent book, 1946, but hey neither was LOTR.

I really loved it. It is more some sort of a inner phycotic tormenting adventure for each of the characters. The last book is somewhat of a anti-climax however. Anyway what do you think about it.
