In Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett the Death of Discworld finds himself
out of a job when the powers that be fire him for developing a
personality. Death is now mortal and must live out the rest of his
numbered days among humans until the new Death arrives to take him away.
With the Disc temporarily without a Death things can't die properly and
a huge amount of excess life force accumulates causing some very
strange things to happen. This is a very hilarious book. I enjoyed it
immensely and highly recommend it.
