Those of you who have will probably know what my avatar is all about, but if not, the Armageddon Trilogy is an excellent place to start (featuring Barry the Time Sprout, whose consciousness is lodged inside Elvis Presley's head - I kid you not). If you prefer demons and magic, the Brentford Trilogy is excellent. Rankin really knows his demonology. He's been described as the drinking man's H.G Wells, but there's more than a touch of H.P Lovecraft on acid in there.
