‘Good Omens’ by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
Described as “wickedly funny” and “Heaven to read” by Time Out magazine, ‘Good Omens’ by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is definitely a humorous feast for the imagination.
Written in 1990 at a time when Pratchett was just beginning to reach the top of his game and Gaiman was primarily still a graphic novelist, this book quickly became a cult classic, winning the World Fantasy Award nominee for Best Novel in 1991 and the Locus Award nominee for Best Fantasy Novel in the same year.
