Death is missing - presumed . . . er . . . gone.Which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn. Ghosts and poltergeists fill up the Discworld. Dead Rights activist Reg Shoe - 'You Don't Have to Take This Lying Down' - suddenly has more work than he had ever dreamed of.And newly deceased wizard Windle Poons wakes up in his coffin to find that he has come back as a corpse.                                          But it's up to Windle and the members of Ankh-Morpork's rather unfrightening group of undead to save the world for the living.                Meanwhile,on a little farm far,far away,a tall dark stranger is turning out to be really good with a scythe.There's a harvest to be got in.And a different battle to be fought.                  * Arthur Winkings,for example,became a vampire after being bitten by a lawyer.Schleppel the bogeyman would be better at his job if he wasn't agoraphobic and frightened of coming out of the closet.And Mr Ixoline is a banshee with a speech impediment,so instead of standing on the roof and screaming when there's a death in the house he writes'OooEeeOooEeeOoo' on a piece of paper and pushes it under the door.
