Garth Marenghi's Incarcerat: Volume 2 of TERRORTOME the SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Product Information

Please Note: By their very nature, all signed books will have been handled several times before they get to you. Garth Marenghi, the renowned horror author famous for his spine-chilling works, is excited to announce a 14-date book tour starting in October 2023 for his latest novel, Incarcerat. Unlike the first, I have yet to have time to listen to the audiobook for this instalment, but I hope so when I reread it in the future. From the word processor (that's correct) of the Archduke O'Darkness, Garth Marenghi - Chief Frightener, Quakerman and Lord High Petrifier - come three new dark tales. Will Nick regain control of his faculties, and crucially his particulars, before everyone, including his erstwhile editor Roz, dies horribly?

There, he is tested and interfered with by a team of scientific experts determined to nullify his escaping imagination. The problem is that it's also clear from those sketches why an actual Marenghi book would be unreadable as a result. I didn't think anything could top previous offerings from his oeuvre such as Guygon vs Galgon and Randyman IV: Nightstench but Incarcerat is even more radical, risky and dangerous than them combined. And there’s an admirable boldness to sidelining the Marenghi analogue character for a vast swath of this, which allows for it to focus its lens a bit more sharply on both an emotional through-line about fatherly duty and also subverting at least some of the sexist tropes it’s homagjng.And it's that balance between telling a story and honouring the gag that is missing in this second book.

It was just as good, if not better, than the first and I thoroughly enjoyed each of the stories (my favourite I think was the gothic house).He seems to have been written out of the story and replaced by Clackett Publishing which is a terrible shame as Reed's philandering gangster ways were a hilarious backdrop to Merenghi's total lack of self awareness. This may result in small marks to the dustjacket and title page, please also bear in mind that each signature will be a little different from the one we show here.
