Mort by Terry Pratchett

Trade Paperback – Harper Paperbacks – 271 pages

Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job. In the Discworld, 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, he 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 series can be read in any order, but this book is the first in the Death storyline and works as an excellent entry point to the world as a whole.
