I miss Terry Pratchett as well. My son has every single one of his books, and has read them all at least five times. He had a joyless upbringing with a harsh mother (I was not there) and his Terry Pratchett books gave a lonely child a reason to feel good about life. I am not sure there can be a better epitaph. And yes, sequel to Neverwhere, please!

Terry's final three tweets, as sent out by his personal assistant, Rob Wilkins: AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER. Terry took Death's arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night. The End.

I have gone to 3 author-being-there-in-person-talking-and-reading type things, so far. 2 of them were evenings with Terry Pratchett, in the 90s: One in the Markthalle Hamburg, a grungy place where I'd also been to many gigs, and then in the Brisbane Hilton, Queensland, Australia. That was a marvellous contrast, I thought. I love him, dearly. The only thing that slightly bothered me about his cosmology was how an ultimate materialism shone through - like he really did not believe, at all, there'd be anything after death. Reason enough to be pissed off at the world and it's bullshit, to be sure! Weeell, I don't share that aspect, I find way too many pointers to consciousness being infinte, and connected. So, in my reckoning he's present, at present, and will surely appreciate still being appreciated, continuing to inspire and amaze and amuse us carnate souls.

Two weeks ago, I had to choose "the good death" for my sixteen year old cat. And thanks to Terry's philosophy and his books, it made it less painful for me, I think. And, yes, I was thinking of Granny Weatherwax leading him to the dark desert as I held him for the last time. And I know he would get preferential treatment as Death adores cats. Even if he does start using the black sand as a litter tray. Sir Terry has affected a lot of lives - in small ways like this and, I'm sure, in larger ways.

She has come to me during the hardest times in my life too, trying to comfort me, like when my dad died and right before my next cat died (4 days before I found out she was sick and terminal) like a premotion almost she came and starred at me a good long while in the dream. I think they do exist on, and somebody must look after them.

I wish I could read again. I have the ability, but not the patience. After I learned of Sir Terry's passing, I vowed that I would read the Discworld in order from "The Colour of Magic" to "The Shepard's Crown." It took just over a year, and I was completely immersed in the Discworld. Those weren't characters. They were my friends, my family, and my heroes. "The Shepard's Crown" broke me. As much as I love Tiffany, I wish I never read that damned book. I've only managed to read two books since, both by Neil Gaiman. I've tried numerous times to read fiction since then, only getting a paragraph or two into the book and closing it. RIP, Sir Terry. Your writing was so good that it spoiled me.

I had the good fortune to meet PTerry twice in my life. 10 years apart on 2 different continents. He remembered me the second time, told me to my face, in the hustle and bustle of a book signing, where we'd met, what we were doing and what other people were there. His memory was beyond phenomenal. (PS: what we did was that I went to buy him sushi for lunch because the moronic US publisher's agent hadn't planned for it and then we drove him to a Fry's because he was a known gadget freak). (PPS: I wish Neil would turn those late night plot points into a sequel to the TV G.O. version)

Being forwarded this video was the first I had heard of Terry Pratchett's passing and I am still in a bit of shock. Mr. Pratchett's books have been a source of joy and inspiration for me since I was a teenager, and his friendship and partnership with Mr. Gaiman has always been a delight for me, as well, since I am an equal fan of both men's work. I'm glad he was able to have such a full life...writing such diverse and complicatedly simple characters that were so easy to relate to and fall in love with, over and over again. Thank you, Mr. Pratchett, for being one of the bastions of literary significance, for so many years, and providing so much laughter and introspective bliss. All my love to your family and friends, who I know are both devastated by your loss, as well as elated to see you move on to that next stage. You will be missed.

Both, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett are a massive influence on me and of course others around the world that love reading, reading novels that take you far away from our own lives and into realms of fantasy. when Terry passed away, It was mixed emotions of sadness and that the fact no other Discworld books would be written. i love watching this video as its warming to hear Neil talk about his friend and collaborator (TP) but his own works as well, someone has already said this with his delivery of speech dose remind me of Alan Rickman. MC is a great host and the chemistry is great between them , love the story about the Good Omens and the radio host.

I can't believe it! 'The Harlem Horror'! The minute Neil started to describe that story I had to pause the video and comment because I immediately knew what he was talking about. I had that exact reaction when I read it probably at the same age Neil was. It disturbed me then and still does. Horrible, horrible story with so many undercurrents. It was in a paperback anthology that I thought was 'Alfred Hitchcock Presents' with a Caligari-style somnambulist in his box on the cover and this was the last story. I forgot the title and author, but never that story. I seemed to think the carnival was Coney Island because for years I associated Coney Island with sickness and depravity. As well as the horror, the sadness of the whole thing was truly overwhelming for a child. One of those things you kind of wish you had never been exposed to, but at the same time such a locus of emotion that it still figures in one's psyche. The book, by the way, was in the classroom library and I read it perhaps 36 years ago. It may be wishful conflation on my part, but I have a feeling Bradbury's truly disturbing gem, 'The Jar', was also in that book (that scarred, and I mean scaRRed, me too, but in a way I definitely am grateful for).

A while ago, I was at a signing/reading for the Graveyard book and was that geek, with a first edition of Smoke and Mirrors (which nobody else in line had seen). When I finally got up for the signature, he was surprised to see that particular book and asked what was my favorite story from it. When I responded with Murder Mysteries, he said it was one of his favorite short stories to write (I was the envy of the other geeks around me). In every case I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him, he’s been the same charming, chatty guy. I never had the pleasure of meeting Sir Terry, but I wish I would have had the pleasure.

I am very happy for being alive at time when Sir Terry lived, esp. being here during his visit in Estonia. :D great hall of Tartu university was packed, and I will forever regret that when he chatted there at beginning and asked audience: Any librarians here, aren't there? we with a friend, who was indeed a librarian (human, though), had not courage to shout out loudly: Ook! but at book-signing i got chance to tell that Small Gods is very good and sound theology, and the best ever - speaking as MTh. ;) only frightening masses of fans behind me in the queue prevented me to chat longer. ever thankful for this li'l Moment. :) (he told that this book gets most controversial reception. that some theologians do not like it at all.) but i am not mad at people who don't dig discworld and Sir Terry's style. there's always Neil Gaiman, as great at least. as funny, maybe bit more subtle. love both.

I think many writers and creators of other types of art have this feeling too, even Neil had this moment on a plane when he thought that he does not want this plane to crash because he needs to finish Sandman. I get it we feel awkward how that sounds "ah, what a shame, there isn't going to be more of his books", but I'm pretty sure writers think that way about themselves too, and they may feel awkward that that was their first thought.

Love Terry still, and the characters he created still feel like personal friends, even Death. (Except it would be very foolish to become friends with, say, the Patrician, but you know what I mean). And I would never've heard of Neil Gaiman were it not for Good Omens, so I'm grateful to Terry for that as well. Years later I went to a Neil Gaiman book signing (Ocean at the End of the Lane) in Ely Cathedral - it was so ironic it was almost surreal, everyone queueing up in the Cathedral as though they were going to have the bread and wine, with Neil Gaiman at the head as the Priest 😆Some of Neils stuff might previously've needed a trigger warning for me, being a bit on the dark side, but after I'd met him, I can feel safe reading it, because he's a really nice guy (in both meanings of the word). And when the stories get scary, I just go, ah, it's ok, it's just Neil, he's a nice bloke, all is well. 🤟

I try to do them every year. ALL of them: Discworld, Science of Discworld, The Bromeliad, the Johnny books and all the short stories, including The Carpet People. I think I have 65 or so, but Good Omens is in a class all by itself. Don't be a b'zugda hi'ara. Read Sir Terry, recommend to all your friends and watch all the live action and animated movies of certain books. If nothing else, watch Good Omens on Prime.

Wow. I keep forgetting that Neil wrote "Comics Galore." For some reason it seems more like a Peter Milligna (sic) book.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay (about the early comic book world, LOOSELY based on the creators of Superman) is epically phenomenal, Yiddish Policeman's Union is a great semi-noir with a very cool plot that gets revealed slowly, and Gentleman of the Road is just super fun historical swashbuckling.
