Titus Groan (Gormenghast, #1)

"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:...

4.56 avg rating — 1,537 ratings
"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 Robber Bridegroom

by
3.50 avg rating — 1,683 ratings
"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
