Titus AwakesTitus Awakes was to have been a novel written by Mervyn Peake. It is the fifth work in the Gormenghast series. The other works in the series include Titus Groan, Gormenghast, Boy in Darkness, and Titus Alone. Sadly, Titus Awakes remains unfinished, as the author succumbed to illness before the work could be completed. Peake's wife, Maeve Gilmore, worked on a version of Titus Awakes which she named World Without End. She passed away before her version of the tale was finished, though she wrote an estimated 30,000 words before her death. In 1990, Overlook Press, American publishers of the Gormenghast series, printed the extant portions of Titus Awakes at the end of Titus Alone. These consisted of two chapters, and it is clear from these that Peake planned a return to Gormenghast Castle.
