The Green Knight (novel): '''''The Green Knight''''' is the 25th novel by Irish writer and philosopher Iris Murdoch, first published in 1993.
The lives of Louise Anderson and her daughters Aleph, Sefton and Moy become intertwined with a mystical character whose destiny both affects and informs the novel's central conflicts which include a murder that never actually occurs, sibling rivalry, love triangles, and one extremely sentient dog who dearly misses his owner. This novel loosely parodies the medieval poem ''Sir Gawain and the Green Knight;'' however, it is largely a comedy of errors with bizarre twists and turns in circumstances that threaten the stability of a circle of friends in a London community.

Carpe Jugulum: a comic fantasy novel by English writer Terry Pratchett, the twenty-third in the ''Discworld'' series. It was first published in 1998.


In ''Carpe Jugulum'', Terry Pratchett pastiches the traditions of vampire literature, playing with the mythic archetypes and featuring a tongue-in-cheek reversal of 'vampyre' subculture with young vampires who wear bright clothes, drink wine, and stay up until noon.
Moving Pictures (novel): a fantasy novel by British writer Terry Pratchett, published in 1990, the tenth book in his ''Discworld'' series. The book takes place in Discworld's most famous city, Ankh-Morpork and a hill called "Holy Wood". It is the first ''Discworld'' novel to feature Mustrum Ridcully, Archchancellor of Unseen University, as a character.
The alchemists of the Discworld have invented moving pictures. Many hopefuls are drawn by the siren call of Holy Wood, home of the fledgling "clicks" industry – among them Victor Tugelbend, a dropout from Ankh-Morpork's Unseen University and Theda "Ginger" Withel, a girl "from a little town you never ever heard of", and the Discworld's most infamous salesman, Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler, who introduces commerce to the equation and becomes a successful producer.
Witches Abroad: the twelfth ''Discworld'' novel by Terry Pratchett, originally published in 1991.
Following the death of the witch Desiderata Hollow, Magrat Garlick receives Desiderata's magic wand, for Desiderata was not only a witch but also a fairy godmother. By giving the wand to Magrat, she effectively makes Magrat the new fairy godmother to a young woman called Emberella, who lives across the Disc in Genua. Sadly, Desiderata does not give Magrat any instruction on how to use the wand, so pretty much anything that Magrat points it at simply becomes a pumpkin.


Desiderata had promised Emberella that she would not be forced to marry the Duke (or Duc, as it is spelled in the book), who's really a frog/prince. Now it is up to Magrat and her companions, (Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg), to ensure Emberella does not marry the Duc, despite the desires of another witch in Genua called Lilith, Desiderata's fairy godmother counterpart.
Lords and Ladies (novel): a fantasy novel by British writer Terry Pratchett, the fourteenth ''Discworld'' book. It was originally published in 1992. Some parts of the storyline spoof elements of Shakespeare's play ''A Midsummer Night's Dream''.
Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat Garlick return to Lancre after their recent adventure in Genua. Magrat is stunned when King Verence proclaims their imminent marriage, having already made all the arrangements in her absence. The sudden appearance of crop circles reveals to Nanny and Granny that it is now "circle time", a convergence of parallel universes when the Discworld is susceptible to incursions from the "parasite universe" of the Elves.
The Last Continent: First published in 1998, it mocks the aspects of time travel such as the grandfather paradox and the Ray Bradbury short story "A Sound of Thunder". It also parodies Australian people and aspects of Australian culture, such as the ''Crocodile Dundee'', ''The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert'' and ''Mad Max'' movies, the Australian beer XXXX, Vegemite, thongs, cork hats, the Peach Melba, ''Skippy the Bush Kangaroo'', the Henley-on-Todd Regatta, and the popular Australian songs "Waltzing Matilda", "Down Under", and "The Man From Snowy River".
Jingo (novel): a fantasy novel by British writer Terry Pratchett, part of his ''Discworld'' series. It was published in 1997.
With the opening of the novel, the island of Leshp, which had been submerged under the Circle Sea for centuries, rises to the surface. Its position, exactly halfway between Ankh-Morpork and Al Khali (the capital of Klatch), makes the island a powerful strategical point for whoever lays claim to it, which both cities do.


In Ankh-Morpork, a Klatchian Prince named Khufurah is parading through Ankh-Morpork, where he will be presented with a Degree in Sweet Fanny Adams (Doctorum Adamus cum Flabello Dulci), but an assassination attempt occurs, and the Prince is wounded. Sir Samuel Vimes, Commander of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, begins investigating the crime, originally suspecting both a Klatchian named 71-Hour Ahmed and a senior Morporkian peer, Lord Rust, of being involved.
Good Omens: 1990s: '''''Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch''''' is a 1990 novel written as a collaboration between the English authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
Parody: According to Gaiman, he originally began the book as a parody of Richmal Crompton's ''William'' books, named ''William the Antichrist'', but it gradually outgrew the original idea.
Eric (novel): The story is a parody of the tale of Faust, and follows the events of ''Sourcery'' in which the Wizard Rincewind was trapped in the Dungeon Dimensions.
Hogfather: 1990s: '''''Hogfather''''' is the 20th ''Discworld'' novel by Terry Pratchett, and a 1997 British Fantasy Award nominee.
Satirical: According to ''Publishers Weekly'', Pratchett used a darker tone and edgier satire for ''Hogfather'' than his previous work, and so moved beyond the realm of humorous fantasy and into position as "one of the more significant contemporary English-language satirists".
A Midsummer Night's Gene: '''A Midsummer Night's Gene''''' is a science fiction parody novel of Shakespeare's play ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'', written by Andrew Harman and published in 1997 by Random House. It reflects the plot of the original play only slightly. It concentrates on two of the fairies and follows their attempts to play with genetic engineering in a modern English town.
