best fictional castle

Watched Howl's Moving Castle again yesterday, still good

act iv might steal it for elsinore. it's the way it looks on the page: all those little bitty scenes, characters running screaming in and out of them like rooms, gaps opening in the text like teeth falling from a skull. and structuring it all, this frantic series of settings:

IV.1: A room in the castle.
IV.2: Another room in the castle.
IV.3: Another room in the castle.
IV.4: A plain in Denmark.
IV.5: Another room in the castle.
IV.6: Another room in the castle.
IV.7: Another room in the castle.

frankly shocked there's no modernist novel called another room in the castle

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

good spread

Old Lunch, thank you for remembering Otranto. I had a spaced-out think once about a South Korean film adaptation of the novel after watching The Wailing. Think it would do well tbh.

I think I voted Kafka

Just finished looking at Art Of Ian Miller and the castles are just spectacular.
