Reaper Man (1992) Terry Pratchett (Author)
Death loses his old job and finds another as a mortal farmhand for an eccentric spinster. As a result, when mortals die, no one comes for their souls. As pent-up Life Forces become so strong that ordinarily inanimate objects come to life, a plague of shopping carts overrun Ankh-Morpork. Newly deceased Windle Poons, now one of the undead, finds himself working with Dead Rights activists and wizards from the University to destroy the city-killing mall. First published in Britain in 1991.
