The Master has gone walking with Mort · 7:27pm Mar 12th, 2015
Terry "Sir Pterry" Pratchett is dead. My wife has read the entire Discworld canon, as well as the non-fiction companions (Science of Discworld, etc.). I even printed and bound for her the unpublished and rare short stories Pratchett released. It's a sad day for great literature.
Speaking of Pratchett's rare short stories - if you haven't read them, here are links to his shorter Discworld works, all of which you can read online. They were eventually collected into the anthology A Blink of the Screen, but his official website has hosted them all publicly at various points. It's all the tribute I can muster at the moment. Enjoy!
"Troll Bridge"
"Theatre of Cruelty"
"The Sea and Little Fishes"
"Death and What Comes Next"
"A Collegiate Casting-Out of Devilish Devices"
Trivia: Terry Pratchett loved PC gaming, especially where fan-made mods were concerned. So much so that, given his love for Skyrim and the Companion Vilja mod, he contacted the mod's author and offered to help write Vilja's dialogue.
Rest in peace, Pterry. Noli timere Messorem.
