Good Omens

Auspicious signs ahead

Good Omens is a 1990 comic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman about an angel and demon who team up to prevent the apocalypse.

The title plays on the phrase "good omen"—a sign of favorable things to come—while the story concerns the end of days.

It was adapted into a television series in 2019: We're rewatching Good Omens this weekend.
