dot Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett Neil Gaiman and
Terry Pratchett


Neil Gaiman's blend of fantasy and horror entertains adult audiences with audiobooks such as AMERICAN GODS. Terry Pratchett's fantastic and satirical Discworld series inspires devotion in his many fans. Both authors also write for younger audiences (THE GRAVEYARD BOOK, named Audiobook of the Year, and NATION, a 2009 Audies Finalist and 2009 Printz Honor book). The two authors collaborated on the Armageddon farce GOOD OMENS, released on audio in the U.S. for the first time this November.
