Mort: A Discworld Novel

By Terry Pratchett

New York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett makes Death a central character in Mort, a clever and fabulous satirical fantasy and installment in the Discworld series, where a cheerfully hapless young man discovers that work can kill your love life when your boss--and your girlfriend's dad--is the Grim Reaper.

Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job. In this beloved work of fantasy comedy, the Grim Reaper is a black-robed skeleton with glowing blue eyes and a scythe who's fond of cats and eternally baffled by humanity. He yearns to experience what humanity really has to offer, but to do so, needs to hire help.

As Death's apprentice, Mort will have free board, use of the company horse, and, best of all, another chance at life, because being dead isn't compulsory.

It's a dream job--until Mort falls in love with Death's daughter, Ysabell, and discovers that your boss can be a killer on your love life...

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Mort is the first book in the fan-favorite Death series. The collection includes:
