Titus Alone

Titus Alone is a novel written by Mervyn Peake and first published in 1959. It is the third work in the Gormenghast trilogy. The other works are Titus Groan and Gormenghast. With the trilogy, a fourth work, the novella Boy in Darkness, and a fifth, the fragment Titus Awakes, are often considered part of a larger "Gormenghast series". It was re-edited by Langdon Jones in 1970 using the original manuscript.

In this novel, Titus has left the Medieval castle where he was raised and explores strange areas of his native world. He finds himself wandering in a modern city with skyscrapers and flying machines. After a brief romantic relationship with an older woman, Titus discovers a hidden area of tunnels and halls beneath the city's only river. It is populated by the city's outcasts, runaways and derelicts.
