In Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming, did you enjoy ...

... the irreverent, satirical take on cosmic battles between good and evil?

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

If you loved the way Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming pokes fun at the eternal struggle between Heaven and Hell—especially through the bickering between Azzie and the angel—then Good Omens will feel like home. You’ll enjoy following Aziraphale the angel and Crowley the demon as they fumble through preventing (or causing) the apocalypse, all with a tongue-in-cheek wit and sharp satire.

... the playful, metafictional humor and clever manipulation of fairy-tale and literary tropes?

The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde

If you delighted in how Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming bends the rules of fate and fairy tales, you’ll love the way The Eyre Affair tosses its protagonist Thursday Next into a world where literature and reality collide. Expect clever jokes about classic stories, characters who are aware they're in a story, and a plot that gleefully blurs the line between fiction and reality.

... the philosophical questions about morality, belief, and the nature of good and evil?

Small Gods by Terry Pratchett

If you were intrigued by the deeper questions lurking beneath the comedy in Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming—like what it means to be good or evil, and why the rules are what they are—then Small Gods is for you. Pratchett’s exploration of religion, belief, and the absurdity of dogma is thoughtful, funny, and just as sly.

... the anti-heroic, morally flexible protagonist navigating outrageous situations?

The Stainless Steel Rat by Harry Harrison

If you enjoyed rooting for Azzie, the charming and mischievous demon who isn’t quite evil enough for Hell, you’ll get a kick out of Slippery Jim diGriz in The Stainless Steel Rat. Jim’s a criminal with a conscience, always scheming and getting into trouble—his escapades are clever, funny, and full of unexpected turns.

... the whimsical, goal-driven quest full of playful twists on classic story structure?

The Princess Bride by William Goldman

If you loved the way Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming follows a competition with a clear mission—complete with magical obstacles, rules, and subversions of the classic fairy tale—then The Princess Bride will charm you. With Westley’s quest to rescue Buttercup, a motley cast, and knowing humor, it’s a fairy tale turned inside out.
