“You had ONE job!” both Satan and God scream at you.
Good Omens
And I said “well that’s all very well but I think you should do a book about Death.” And then a week later my phone would ring and I pick it up and a voice would say “You bastard, it’s called Mort!” And hangs up.

My copy of MORT is signed “To Neil Gaiman, in the hope that he won’t tell everyone it was his idea.”

The series will focus on the mysterious Shadow, a man who is released from prison a few days early after serving a three-year sentence for bank robbery when his beloved wife Laura is killed in a car accident. Flying home for the funeral, Shadow is seated next to a man who introduces himself only as Mr. Wednesday, and this man knows more about Shadow’s life, both past and present, than is possible. Shadow comes to learn that Wednesday is, in fact, the god Odin of Norse mythology and that all of the gods that mankind has ever believed in are alive in human form and live among regular people. Shadow is soon thrust into a gathering conflict between the Old gods and the so-called “New gods”, the gods of money and technology who believe there is no longer room on Earth for the old gods.
Neil Gaiman’s response says “I was grateful for the comma”

If you don’t like his music, you don’t have to listen.
oh. oh my god. I’m so sorry
I 100% can’t tell if you’re joking or not but we’re not talking about Adam Young the American singer and songwriter behind Owl City
We’re talking about Adam Young the fictional antichrist from the 1990 British absurdist comedy novel Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
in all my life, I have never encountered such an astounding act of trolling as the time I spent an hour and a half downloading what I thought was a Good Omens fanmix and then discovering that it was a Best of Queen album.
