An ageing mare with little left to live for enters a shop in search of a new dress. Little does she know she will be leaving without her soul.
This was my entry into the Spooktober contest ran by Nailah. I know it's a bit late for the month of spooky stories, but as they say: Good guys finish last minute... or am I getting my proverbs mixed up?
...This seems...familiar...were you inspired by Dirty Job by Christopher Moore?
and that is what I'm feeling
I’m so confused.

Indeed I was. It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it.
Been pondering how death worked in Equestria for quite some time and that book seemed like an excellent start for a horror crossover.
Nice. Was waiting to find out what the glowing red mark was. I was guessing it had something to do with the cutie map. She's the right color for it. Let's see where we're going. Maybe because I could not stop for death he kindly stopped for me. Probably not La Belle Dame sans Merci / Hath thee in thrall!
I'd like a ghost dress, please.
That's a good line.
Me, every day. Slight regret I didn't go into medicine or biology.
Great concept. I just watched Erased and can't help but draw comparisons between Rarity and Gaku Yashiro . Curious what this might look like in a larger story and a bit jealous that my necromancer story doesn't have an idea this cool behind it.

Thank you, and feel free to steal it. After all I did.
