Alright /lit/ im looking for books that have death as a primary character. I mean death as in good ol' bones 'n' cape, the grim reaper. Modern setting works but anything will do. Im in a 'folklore is real' mood ever since reading american gods. Anyone got any suggestions?

Any of the Discworld Death stories like Reaper Man or Hogfather, or Good Omens.

"On A Pale Horse" comes to mind, been a long time since I read it though.

i loved that book when i was 14

i considered picking it back up a few months ago but i think i wouldn't be able to appreciate it like i did at 14, it would just be sullying the memory

You could just read them. You can probably google the titles with "epub" or "mobi" and have a read of an ebook if you want.

I get that feeling when looking at my bookshelves and all the fantasy I read as a 13 year old
