Death is probably the most reliable character on the Discworld. When your job involves turning up whenever someone’s life comes to an end, you would expect a certain amount of professional competence, and Death has that in abundance. The problem is that he is also rather curious about humanity, which makes things complicated when he starts wondering what it might actually be like to be alive. His adventures involve assassins, apprentices, witches, music, cats and the occasional existential crisis, usually accompanied by his horse Binky. The Death books are funny, surprisingly thoughtful and perhaps the Discworld’s most entertaining exploration of what it means to be human.
