Discworld influenced Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

Added by Media Influence Map · 16 September 2026

The evidence

Gaiman has been explicit that the finished voice of Good Omens is Pratchett's, and that Pratchett did the final assembly of the manuscript. The Discworld apparatus is all present: the footnote used as a second comic channel, an anthropomorphised Death who speaks in capitals, cosmic bureaucracy treated as an office problem, and a plot that arrives at decency by way of farce. Filed MEDIUM rather than HIGH because Pratchett is a co-author rather than an influence at arm's length. It is recorded because a reader tracing where the book's manner comes from is asking a real question, and Discworld is the honest answer.
