I live near the big man and feel no need to mention him at all in general, let alone his huge club. You don't bother mentioning trivialities and the historic record is pretty fragmentary as well.
Records get lost - I've lost loads of photos from the past and I'm not even one generation removed from myself! Nowadays my phone syncs to the Nextcloud instance in my attic and that gets backed up to my business' gear.
It is also whispered in corners that the state of the M25 is the result of satanic influences. Two dedicated investigative journalists were required to determine the veracity of this: Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett. Their paper: "Good Omens" is well worth reading. They only had to deal with a few decades of shadowy history for a major motorway. Can you imagine the difficulty of dealing with an inconsequential chalk figure which was probably mostly indistinct until pissed up locals restored it for a laugh every few centuries.
It may have had a few changes made over the years.
Good Omens is interesting to me for being a rewrite of an earlier book also by Terry Pratchett. Perhaps an early indicator of the observation that "every [scientific] paper will be published five times" moving into the realm of literature.
Sourcery is about a power beyond the world taking itself off the world. Literally someone realising: "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely" and taking themselves outside the universe for a good telling off. The sourceror turned out to be a girl but whatevs (7th son of a 7th son etc). She nearly caused a bit of a wobble in a universe already a Rizzla paper thickness away from some distressing oddness. However, the potential cause never wanted and eventually averts things going totally Pete.
Good Omens is a damn fine spin on the Christian apocalypse as described in quite some detail in John. There is the full on Angel vs Demon thing with a bloody great Hell Hound. Anyone who knows Jack Russells knows that they have a roughly 50/50 chance vs anything up to and including a nuclear weapon (which will either be shaken to death or sha ..... fzzzzt.) The Dog is almost certainly a JR.
Anyway, I digress. There are clear similarities but distinct differences between the two books.
Sourcery: One individual nearly caused armageddon but took themself away to avoid it
Good Omens: The universe's squishy contents tried to destroy the whole material plane and tripped over its own shoelaces
Huh. Agree to disagree on that one. They both have horsemen, and Death feels like the same Death, but beyond that I wouldn't connect the two much at all. Adam/Anathema/Crowley/Azariphale all have very different stories than the ones around Coin/Rincewind/Conina. Very different apocalypses.
Their work is intriguing, but their analysis of the ostensible Agnes Nutter primary source document, which was subsequently lost, makes some of their claims dubious.
