Titus Groan (Gormenghast, #1)
by
"Stunning world building. A gothic antique feel. Grotesquely draw characters. This is like a Goya painting in print. I tried to capture some of that same weirdness in The Lepidopterist's Beautiful Daughter

Jeeves and Wooster Omnibus: The Mating Season / The Code of the Woosters / Right Ho, Jeeves (Jeeves, #9, 7, & 6)
by
"Captures the irreverent and humour of the age, Wooster is an fabulous caricature of upper class ineptitude. But the humour also hides a keen lancing wit that skewers privilege, rank and class. Bertie is a starting point in my creation of Tito the central hero. "

The Name of the Rose
by
"Religious orders hiding secrets, secret passages, shadowy churches. Hugely atmospheric, and so clever. Sound Familiar? The order of St. Phocus and St Friard perhaps/"

She (She, #1)
by
"Let's see, a hidden mysterious god like woman hidden in distant mountains. A rip-roaring adventure and most off all a hopeless and doomed romance "

The Robber Bridegroom
by
"You don't often think of Eudora Wetly as Magical Realism, but this most definitely is. A brilliant retelling of the Classic Grimm folk tale, set in the deep south. Perhaps the very first Southern Gothic Novel
