Sometimes counted as the ninth ''[[Discworld]]'' novel, although this is where numbering gets tricky as some prefer to count ''Eric'' as a special. It's shorter than most Discworld novels, was published by a different publisher, and was originally intended to be an illustrated work. The title is officially simply ''Eric'', but on most covers it is preceded by the struck-through title ''Faust'', a reference to how the title character is a [[Twice-Told Tale|parody]] of ''[[Doctor Faustus]]''.
