A Stroke of the Pen

Go To

  • Fridge Logic: In “Pilgarlic Towers”, it’s established that the ghosts can’t be seen by modern people- but, earlier in the story, some policemen chase after the Spectral Coachman.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: The title of “The Haunted Steamroller” (if not the story itself) has become this as, after Terry Pratchett’s passing, a hard drive containing all of his unfinished works was crushed by a steamroller.
  • Heartwarming Moments: The ending of “The Haunted Steamroller” has J22 (a sentient steamroller in danger of being scrapped) being bought by a rich man for his Steam Engine Museum, with J22’s loyal driver Bert becoming the museum’s chief mechanic.
    But Bert went to look at J22 before he went to bed. The old steamroller was in a big shed with lots of others and looked quite at home. So, he just said “Goodnight”, and shut the door.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The main (human) character in "From The Horse's Mouth" is named Ronald Weasel.
