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

Product Information

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. That happened hours later thanks to the efforts of repair crews working through the dark and stormy night. Has even more of a suspicious amount of genital trauma than the first book, as well as more death, gore, excrement and general horror theming. The gags are almost gone entirely in favour of a really pretty deep character dissection of Marenghi as a person.

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. Yes, it can be mind-boggling how Marenghi can embed a story written by one of his characters within the main narrative. Another enjoyable romp through purple prose and ludicrous scenarios, but taking itself seriously enough as a meta literary enterprise that it succeeds on its own terms. It’s Marenghi’s sense of plotting, his ear for dialog, and his use of tropes that are so deliciously broken.

I would say, “spoilers ahead,” but no mere summation can truly encapsulate the dark majesty of Garth Marenghi’s prose. About the Author: Garth Marenghi was born in the past, graduated from his local comprehensive (now bulldozed) with some O levels in subjects. AND the fact that Garth Marenghi thought it was okay to put that IN a script as an opening line is even funnier.

Surprisingly an improvement over the first one – the satire is sharper and the stories are more creative, each of them working on their own terms both as a comic send-up of different horror genres and spine-chilling works of horrificata. But this second book feels much more like a man with a story to tell than a comedian trying to make me laugh.

Would it have been such a terrible idea to take any one of the mentions of the word "Blood" in this story and swap them out for; "Blood? I attended a reading from this in a large London theatre, and consumed this as an audiobook, both brought me closer to Garth.

There, he is tested and interfered with by a team of scientific experts determined to nullify his escaping imagination.As a huge fan of the original series Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and it's accompanying sister series Man To Man With Dean Learner I'm a huge fan of the character and his ludicrous tropes and writing choices, which are in fact a key part of the original joke.
