'''<s>Faust</s> Eric'''
 
Sometimes counted as the ninth ''[[Discworld (Literature)|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 (Theatre)|Doctor Faustus]]''.
 
Rincewind was trapped in the Dungeon Dimensions at the end of ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Sourcery|Sourcery]]'', but is now summoned back to the Disc by Eric, a young demonologist who was trying to summon a demon with a similar name. (For much of the book he's convinced Rincewind ''is'' a demon.) The story follows the two of them as they inadvertently travel through space and time to grant Eric's [[Three Wishes]].
