Synopsis
Being Death's apprentice is a good job; board and lodging, free use of the company horse (binky) and you don't even need time off for your grandmother's funeral. Looking like a skeleton is not compulsory either and you get to meet interesting people, although, of course, not for very long. All in all, it's a job for life. Well, nearly. It would have been if Mort had remembered that he wasn't supposed to rescue princesses. After that it all began to go dead wrong…
