About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

One of my Discworld favourites

It’s always a party when Death steps out, and when granddaughter Susan gets pulled into the dance, things get even more interesting.
Full marks for cultural intertextuality and laugh out loud Punes.

get this version, not the abridged one!

the other narrator is lovely but be careful to avoid the abridged version. They take out a lot of humor to cut the length of the story

Great presentation!

I really enjoyed this rendition of Soul Music. Sian Clifford's talent with accents was very good indeed. Recommended!

Gaaaaaahhbage

this version of a classic book is not done well at all. the previous incarnations of soul music narrated by Nigel planer were much much better. I'm very disappointed, especially given the great cast in this project.
