GDAC Library: Eric by Terry Pratchett


What's it about: Eric is a 14 year old demonologist who gets more than he bargained for and is plunged head first into the often hairy realities of an epic adventure. Together with his unwilling travel buddy, a long suffering wizard, Eric encounters wild tribes, trojan horses and a single minded but vicious piece of furniture. Shorter than the average Discworld book, this could be the ideal starting point to set off on your own adventure into the wonderful mind of Terry Pratchett.

For fans of: Satire; both social and otherwise, literary in jokes, fantasy, christopher moore, douglas adams

For fans of: Urban fantasy comedy, Terry Pratchett, Martin Millar, Grand Theft Auto style societal satire
