Garth Marenghi’s TerrorTomb

Submitted by Laar14 t3_z908gh in books

Welcome friend, just about finished the audiobook and loving it. Genuinely laugh out loud good which, even with books I enjoy, is rare. It probably helps that Matthew Holness (Garth) is narrating.

Purchased it due to being a big fan of Dark Place in the early noughties and it lived up to my hopes. Garth is still as narcissistic and as (intentionally) poor a writer as ever and it’s brilliant.

Just wondering what others have thought of it? Particularly anyone unfamiliar with Garths previous works as I’m wondering what someone going in without context would make of it.

Edit: title should read TerrorTome

Author/dream weaver/visionary - I love Garth Marenghi. A fun fact, he's one of the few people you'll ever meet who's written more books than he's read.

I didn't even know this existed, but now it's in my library. Thanks!
I've only ever glanced at Dark Place, but what I saw, stuck with me forever.

It is the greatest limited release horror-medical 80s TV show set in Romford ever made.

I second that. I’m just now aware of this because of your post and will order right away. Bye.

Garth is currently on a book tour in the UK. Saw him at the weekend, where he did a reading, a Q&A and a signing. Was a great evening.

It’s great that enough time has passed that Great Britain is now ready for Mr. Marenghi’s works. There was a time it just wasn’t safe to release them on the general public.

You should now watch Holness's "Possum" (2018) as an interesting counterpoint...

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I am about to download it and will return to this post once I have consumed it in its entirety.
