Description

Darkplace was a first TV gig for a generation of British comedy talent. Richard Ayoade played Dean Learner, Marenghi’s unscrupulous and dandyish agent; Matt Berry played thespian Todd Rivers and Alice Lowe was Madeleine Wool, who sadly disappeared somewhere in Eastern Europe before the show’s rediscovery. Their friends Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt of The Mighty Boosh popped up, too.

after newsletter promotion Typing with more than two fingers is counterproductive for any horror writer; you need to concentrate your strengthThe publication of INCARCERAT is scheduled for 31st October 2023, and the book tour will follow shortly after. Garth Marenghi is the pseudonym of writer and director Matthew Holness, who is best known for his role as the fictional horror author in the cult Channel 4 comedy series Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Holness is the author of many short stories for horror anthologies and has written and directed several films, including the horror feature Possum.

The British version of this drama-filled desert island-set reality gameshow was cancelled after two outings in the early 00s – its US equivalent, meanwhile, is now a national institution after 43 seasons. This BBC revival belatedly rectifies that oversight, with a new fighting-fit cohort decamping to the Dominican Republic to battle the elements – and each other. In this second novel of interconnected mini-novels, INCARCERAT, Steen is abducted and imprisoned at Nulltec, a shadowy technological research facility hidden deep among the Stalkford downs. There, he is tested and interfered with by a team of scientific experts determined to nullify his escaping imagination.

Holness has been touring a live show since November in which, in character, he reads chapters from TerrorTome and then answers questions from the audience. Buoyed up by the raging success of Peaky Blinders, Steven Knight is fast becoming one of the most prolific screenwriters in TV. Following SAS: Rogue Heroes and Great Expectations (plus Diana biopic Spencer), he adapts Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer-winning second world war novel about a blind French girl and a German boy who finds himself working for the Nazis.

Heartbroken, he pressed on. “I was at a stage in my life where I thought gurning physically was funny, I thought I was the new [comic and rubber-faced impressionist] Phil Cool.”

The character is described as follows in the author notes to accompany the new book: "Garth Marenghi was born in the past, graduated from his local comprehensive (now bulldozed) with some O levels in subjects. He taught for nine years at his local library reading group before becoming a full-time horror writer. He has published numerous novels of terror (too numerous to list, nay count), over five hundred short stories, and has edited thirty anthologies of his own work, which have all received the Grand Master of Darkdom Award. 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. He commenced work on TerrorTome during the late 1980s, continued on it alone and unaided by editors throughout the 1990s, and on into the early 2000s, then the mid-2000s, and has only now found a publisher brave enough to unleash its chilling portendings. He is an honorary fellow." In this second novel of interconnected mini-novels, Incarcerat, Steen is abducted and imprisoned at Nulltec, a shadowy technological research facility hidden deep among the Stalkford downs. There, he is tested and interfered with by a team of scientific experts determined to nullify his escaping imagination." From the word processor (that's correct) of the Archduke O'Darkness, Garth Marenghi - Chief Frightener, Quakerman and Lord High Petrifier - come three new dark tales.

From the word processor (that’s correct) of the Archduke O’Darkness, Garth Marenghi – Chief Frightener, Quakerman and Lord High Petrifier – come three new dark tales. We had a bit of problem trying to find a publisher, mainly because the content is so terrifyingly prescient. But my job as a shaman is to evolve mankind. These are stories that need to be told. So, having fired several editors, I got chatting with Ken Hodder, head of Hodder books, who was sat to my immediate right at the same horror convention curry, but not level with me, as I was head of a rectangular table, remember? He’d agreed to read my manuscript in exchange for a free bhuna, but when the hot towels came I swapped his glass for the metal goblet I insist on quaffing from – which is deceptively deep – and got him to sign there and then. Give or take another bottle.Low-budget 80s hospital horror Darkplace only finally aired in 2004 in the form of documentary/presentation Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace. Would Darkplace be easier to get off the ground now? They commission all sorts of rubbish on Netflix and BBC Three … Julian Fellowes’s soapy drama set in late 19th-century America – a boom time when colossal fortunes were routinely made, and the old guard were being jostled out of their old ways – is essentially a New York Downton. Season two sees the newly wealthy Russells continue to strive for societal acceptance, while Cynthia Nixon’s Ada unexpectedly finds love. Debuting at the Edinburgh Fringe in the early 2000s, Garth Marenghi started life as a stage show co-starring Richard Ayoade and Alice Lowe and went on to become a cult Channel 4 show, which also starred Matt Berry.
