I think I have done Good Omens before, but there’s a new miniseries on Amazon Prime that’s adapted it. If you haven’t seen any of the miniseries yet, I binge-watched half last night; and to quote Harold from Captain Underpants, “So good.” So good that right now I hope there isn’t a sequel. If Pratchett and Gaiman couldn’t get one done. It’d be almost blasphemous for them to try.

Pratchett & Gaiman have toss around a possible sequels years before Pratchett’s passing call 668: The Neighbour of the Beast. But it never got off the preliminary stage.
I’m wondering if this is true, partially because there was a book that came out back when I was in college also named _668: The Neighbor of the Beast_ (https://www.amazon.com/668-Neighbor-Beast-Lionel-Fenn/dp/0441768377) by a different author.
I mostly remember that Far Side cartoon.
According to Gaiman in this video, he and Pratchett mentioned that title at a convention, and another author liked it so much that he used it himself (presumably Charles L. Grant, who sometimes wrote as Lionel Fenn).
I’ve just started reading the book. So far it’s excellent. I’ll watch the miniseries after I’ve finished.
Oh, you lucky, lucky bastard, getting to read it for the first time.
The book is awesome. Those nursery rhymes!
If I didn’t know it was Pratchett and Gaiman, I would have suspected the book was written by Moe Lane.
