A Stroke of the Pen: The Lost Stories by Terry Pratchett
Recommended by Dan B.
When Terry Pratchett died, he demanded that his unfinished work be flattened by a steamroller — and it was! No new work would ever be found. Except these stories discovered out of Pratchett’s past, that he wrote for local papers under a synonym early in his career. These stories are funny, usually fantastical, and hint at the themes he would favor in his later work. What an unexpected delight, especially the proto-Discworld story that concludes the collection. What luck for Pratchett fans!
