Mervyn Peake
Boy in Darkness
London: Hodder Children's Books, 1996
First illustrated edition, thus.
For devotees of Peake's Gormenghast books, this is an unpublished fragment, an adventure outside the castle in which Titus is captured by a creature of ultimate evil.
In what can be interpreted as an anti-religion (certainly anti-fascist) fable, his captor is referred to as 'The Lamb', who seeks to bend all to his will.
