Soul Music




The sixteenth Discworld novel and third in the Death series - revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans.

'This didn't feel like magic. It felt a lot older than that. It felt like music.'

Being sixteen is always difficult, but it's even more so when there's a Death in the family. Susan hasn't exactly had a normal upbringing, with a skeletal grandfather who rides a white horse and wields a scythe.

When Death decides he needs a well-earned break, he leaves Susan to take over the family business. The only problem is, everyone mistakes her for the Tooth Fairy . . .

Well, not the only problem. There's a new, addictive music in Discworld. It's lawless. It changes people. It's got a beat and you can dance to it.

It's called Music With Rocks In. And it won't fade away . . .

'Genius . . . deals with death with startling originality' New York Times

'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction' Mail on Sunday

Soul Music is the third book in the Death series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Praise for Soul Music

'The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious genius for strong parody ... who deals with death with startling originality. Who writes amazing sentences'

New York Times

'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction'

Mail on Sunday

'Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own . . . incredibly funny . . . compulsively readable'

The Times

'Very clever madcap satire which has universal appeal. If you haven't tried him, this is a fun one to start with'

Today

'Pratchett lures classical themes and popular mythologies into the dark corners of his imagination, gets them drunk and makes them do things you wouldn't dream of doing'
