Garth Marenghi reveals Incarcerat cover
New horror epic out on Halloween
Garth Marenghi has revealed the cover of his new book, Incarcerat.
As Chortle reported in April, the follow-up up to his Sunday Times bestseller, Terrortome will be released on Halloween, followed by short book tour.
The blurb for the book reads: ‘Horror novelist Nick Steen is abducted and imprisoned at Nulltec, a shadowy technological research facility with excellent conference parking, concealed deep on the Stalkford Downs. There he is observed, tested and "interfered with" (physically) by a team of scientific experts led by Dr Barbara Nullman, determined to probe and 'nullify' his escaping imagination…’

Publishers Hodder & Stoughton have also bought the rights to a third book, to be released at a later date.
TerrorTome was the first real book Holness wrote as Marenghi, and he sold more than 27,000 tickets for the tour that accompanied that release.
Garth Marenghi started life as a stage show co-starring Richard Ayoade and Alice Lowe and directed by future Paddington director Paul King, which won the 2001 Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Fringe. The trio were then joined by Matt Berry to produce the cult 2004 Channel 4 sitcom Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.
Copies of Incarcerat can be ordered from Amazon.
