Reaper Man

In Terry Pratchett's 'Reaper Man,' the fabric of reality is threatened when Death, the personification of mortality, is inexplicably fired by the Auditors of Reality for becoming too 'human.' Stripped of his duties and given a corporeal form, he is forced to live amongst humanity as 'Bill Door,' experiencing life, agriculture, and the simple pleasures and pains of existence for the first time. His absence, however, throws the natural order into chaos; the dead refuse to stay dead, and a new, more efficient, and terrifying form of Death begins to manifest, threatening to reap not just life, but also the very concept of death itself. Meanwhile, in Ankh-Morpork, the newly deceased wizard Windle Poons, along with a ragtag group of other 'undead and underemployed' entities including zombies, vampires, and werewolves, discovers that his afterlife plans have been interrupted. To secure their own eternal rest and prevent reality from unraveling, they must band together to find Death and convince him to reclaim his rightful place before the cosmic balance is irreversibly shattered.
