Small Gods
from archive.org
There are gods everywhere on Discworld - you can't swing a simian librarian without hitting one - except, of course, only a few people can see them. Each small god lies in wait, desperately seeking to make someone believe in him. On Discworld, gods need people more than people need gods, for belief is the food of the gods.
Terry Pratchett's four-part comic Discworld fantasy - set in a complex state of beliefs.
