Mort

Death comes to everyone eventually on Discworld. And now he' s come to Mort with an offer the young man can' t refuse. (No, literally, 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.
