Terry Pratchett's use of imagery is stunning.  His insight into human beings and what makes them tick drives the story as much as the characters.  He wraps it in dark humour, but it shines through.

Night Watch has one of the most perfect paragraphs ever written. "The night was welling up as the sun set. It unfolded from the shadows where it had hidden from the day, and flowed and joined together. He felt his senses flow with it, spreading out like the whiskers of a dark, giant cat. " Beautiful.
