As heard on Radio 4 - the classic dark and hilarious take on mankind's final judgment, from bestselling authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
Terry Pratchett is the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling
Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was
published in 1983. In all, he is the author of fifty bestselling
books. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen,
and he is the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie
Medal, as well as being awarded a knighthood for services to
literature. Worldwide sales of his books now stand at 70 million,
and they have been translated into thirty-seven languages.

Neil Gaiman is the acclaimed creator of the graphic novel series
SANDMAN and of such novels for children as Coraline and for adults
as American Gods. His comics and novels have sold in their tens of
millions. Like Terry, his works have been widely adapted for stage
and screen, and also like Terry, he is the winner of
multipleprizes, including the Carnegie Medal. Unlike Terry, he has
never been awarded a knighthood for services to literature,
although his mother thinks that sooner or later the Queen will read
one of his books and immediately knight him if she likes it, and
that to be on the safe side he should leave out the rude words. He
does have the Newbery Medal, though.

Marvellously benign, ridiculously inventive and gloriously
funny
*GUARDIAN*
Wickedly funny
*TIME OUT*
A superbly funny book. Pratchett and Gaiman are the most
hilariously sinister team since Jekyll and Hyde. If this is
Armageddon, count me in
*JAMES HERBERT*
Wow

'Heaven to read, and you'll laugh like hell'
