23 May 1991 | Publication | Received as one of the finest Discworld novels to that point, with particular praise for the pastoral sequences involving Death as a farm labourer and the emotional weight of the Windle Poons subplot. Critics noted that Pratchett was moving the series into territory that could not be described purely as comic fantasy, and Reaper Man is frequently cited in assessments of the Discworld as evidence of its capacity for genuine feeling alongside its comedy. |
