Boy in Darkness

''Boy in Darkness'' is a horror novella written by Mervyn Peake. It was first published in 1956 by Eyre & Spottiswoode as part of the anthology ''Sometime, Never: Three Tales of Imagination'' (with other stories by William Golding and John Wyndham). A corrupt version of ''Boy in Darkness'' was published both in an anthology, ''The Inner Landscape'' (1969), and separately in 1976 with an introduction by Peake's widow, Maeve Gilmore. Referring to the corrupt text, she wrote that "although the Boy in ''Boy in Darkness'' is assuredly Titus Groan, () did not call him so by name"; however, adding the name Titus was one of the specific changes that Peake made between writing and publishing his novella. The correct text has recently become available again in an anthology entitled ''Boy in Darkness and Other Stories'', with a foreword by Joanne Harris and a preface by Peake's son Sebastian, as well as Maeve Gilmore's uncorrected introduction from 1976.
Upon publication of the work in 1956, a ''Glasgow Herald'' reviewer called it "completely hair-raising". The story is one of Mervyn Peake's rare short works. After this he wrote only ''Titus Alone'' (1959); by the time it was published, Parkinson's disease had made writing almost impossible for him, although he continued to draw, intermittently, for several more years.
==Plot summary==

''Boy in Darkness'' is an episode in the Gormenghast series when Titus Groan, referred to mostly as "the Boy" in the story, is a young teenager – placing it during the period covered by the second novel in the series, ''Gormenghast''. Yearning for freedom from his ceaseless duties as 77th Earl of Gormenghast, he escapes the ancient castle and encounters the nightmare world outside.
