Gormenghast. What to expect? Atmospheric? Creepy? Worth reading?
This is pulp for the people put off by the poverty of the language used by Stephanie Meyer.

I don't understand?
nothing BUT atmosphere
the series is good, but it's not in any hurry to go anywhere
Boy in Darkness is great though
bump because I am interested. Is this any good?

Haven't read it, but it seems to turn up on "books that inspired me" lists for SF and Fantasy authors a lot.

I want to make a 'good fantasy' collage because the current one is full of boring commercial trite, and fantasy's failure to respond negatively to shite is a big part of why it's looked down upon.
>Gormenghast
>BotNS
>Lord of the Rings
>Gloriana
anything else?

second apocalypse
BOTNS is considered sci-fi

>BOTNS is considered sci-fi
It's kinda on the preciipice, and it's a perfect example of why 'genres' are really just aesthetic choices.
>nautical novel is an aesthetic
>magical realism is an aesthetic
>southern gothic is an aesthetic
>fantasy is an aesthetic.
The difference is that in the post-comiccon world, it's very easy for fantasy to serve purely commercial aims rather than artistic ones.

book of the new sun. it's like Ulysseys + Conan the Barbarian and it's fucking brilliant.
>>7669403
Book of the New Sun
>>7669423
More like Proust + Jack Vance

nice, good call

Are you seriously ignoring the massive pulp influence that Wolfe has? BOTNS work is belles lettres artistic aims from within a pulp fantasy/sci-fi New Worlds-ish aesthetic.
