Garth Marenghi
Garth Marenghi is a fictional character created by Matthew Holness and Richard Ayoade in the cult British comedy series "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace." Marenghi is portrayed as a pompous and self-absorbed horror author who believes himself to be a literary genius. His most notable works include titles such as "The Ooze," "Black Fang," and "Arachnobilia." Marenghi's writing style is characterized by over-the-top melodrama, cliched horror tropes, and grandiose prose. Although a parody of bad writing, Marenghi's works have gained a cult following for their unintentional humor and absurdity. His most famous work is "Darkplace," a fictional account of his time as a hospital doctor dealing with supernatural occurrences. Garth Marenghi has left a lasting impact on the horror genre, inspiring a new wave of satirical and self-aware horror literature and television.
