"DISCWORLD TAKES THE CLASSIC FANTASY UNIVERSE THROUGH ITS LOGICAL, AND COMIC, EVOLUTION."
Cleaveland Plain Dealer

Death comes to everyone eventually on Discworld. And now he's come for Mort with an offer the young man can't refuse. (No leterally, can't refuse since being dead isn't exactly compulsory.) Actually, it's a pretty good deal. As Death's apprentice, Mort will have free board and lodging. He'll get use of the company horse. And he won't have to take any time off for family funerals. But despite the obvious perks, young Mort is about to discover that there is a serious downside to working for the Reaper Man... because this perfect job can be a killer on one's love life.

"[Pratchett is] always clever, always funny, and always surprisingly timely.... His world is more than just an alternate universe - it's a delirious roller-coaster ride that never allows the reader to even consider getting off."
Philadelphia Inquirer

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
