Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.

The audiobook of Soul Music is narrated by the BAFTA award-winning actor Sian Clifford (Fleabag; Vanity Fair; Quiz). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

'This didn't feel like magic. It felt a lot older than that. It felt like music.'

Being sixteen is always difficult, but it's even more so when there's a Death in the family. Susan hasn't exactly had a normal upbringing, with a skeletal grandfather who rides a white horse and wields a scythe.

When Death decides he needs a well-earned break, he leaves Susan to take over the family business. The only problem is, everyone mistakes her for the Tooth Fairy...

Well, not the only problem. There's a new, addictive music in Discworld. It's lawless. It changes people. It's got a beat and you can dance to it.

It's called Music With Rocks In. And it won't fade away...

The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order, but Soul Music is the third book in the Death series.

The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Reseñas de la Crítica

'Pratchett lures classical themes and popular mythologies into the dark corners of his imagination, gets them drunk and makes them do things you wouldn't dream of doing with an Oxford don'

'Very clever madcap satire which has universal appeal. If you haven't tried him, this is a fun one to start with'

'The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious genius for strong parody ... who deals with death with startling originality. Who writes amazing sentences'

'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction'

'Like Jonathan Swift, Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own, and like Swift he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable'

'Classic English humour, with all the slapstick, twists and dry observations you could hope for'

This is a Pratchett Classic

The story and setting are amazing as you would expect, and I do enjoy the new narrator but there are parts where her voice just hits a nerve. Still well worth it though.

Love Discworld

The Discworld stories with Death and Susan are always my favorite! No one can get being human more wrong than death.

Tens across the board

Amazing as always! Terry Pratchett’s books never let me down, especially the Discworld novels. Hilarious, thought provoking, and incredibly stupid in the best possible way.

loved this adaptation

Don't know what the other reviewers are talking about, the narration was excellent.
one of my favorite of Pratchett's works, he always manages to blend comedy and deep insight perfectly.

I liked the narration

Gotta love a character that contemplates her “Susan-ness” who decides her parents named her Susan to keep her from becoming “Death.”
