Will Nick regain control of his faculties, and crucially his particulars, before everyone, including his erstwhile editor Roz, dies horribly?

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. I hope Matthew Holness creates a series from these Garth Marenghi books because I would love to have a lot on my shelf! 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. 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. Incarcerat is another perfect storm of terrible storytelling from the mind of Garth Marenghi (aka Matthew Holness).So don’t think of what follows as ‘spoilers,’ but as soft-edged shadows of the cyclopean nightmares within this book’s pages. It’s Marenghi’s sense of plotting, his ear for dialog, and his use of tropes that are so deliciously broken. There, he is tested and interfered with by a team of scientific experts determined to nullify his escaping imagination.

Garth Marenghi was born in the past, graduated from his local comprehensive (now bulldozed) with some O levels in subjects. The authorial voice of this ridiculously incompetent man is still there and recognisable from the source material. But they get pretty stale if you read the whole novel at once (this is a common problem with comic novels). But this second book feels much more like a man with a story to tell than a comedian trying to make me laugh. He wrote, directed and starred in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace for the Peruvian market, which subsequently aired on Channel 4 and has not been repeated due to its radical and polemic content.In addition, you will learn important things about the R-Complex that will change your view of humanity and its place in the universe. A scroll through some Darkplace fan threads to see which lines are the most parroted and an honest inventory of why will reveal a lot that needs to be examined. I attended a reading from this in a large London theatre, and consumed this as an audiobook, both brought me closer to Garth. 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.
