Hogfather

Hogfather

Terry Pratchett, 2013

Overview

It's the night before Hogswatch, Discworld's equivalent of Christmas, but something is terribly wrong. The Hogfather, the jolly bringer of gifts, is missing, and an insidious force is at play, threatening to unravel the very fabric of the holiday. Death himself must step in to fill the Hogfather's shoes, leading to a darkly comic and bizarre situation. As Death attempts to spread cheer (in his own unique way), Susan Sto Helit, Death's granddaughter and a pragmatic governess, investigates the mystery behind the Hogfather's disappearance.

The fate of Hogswatch, and indeed the world, rests on Susan's shoulders. She must confront ancient evils and unravel a plot that strikes at the heart of belief itself. This 20th installment in the Discworld series blends fantasy, satire, and festive cheer into a unique and thought-provoking narrative. The novel explores the power of belief, the importance of stories, and the essential role of tradition in society. It's a darkly humorous take on the holiday season, filled with Pratchett's signature wit and wisdom.
