I'm not sure if there are a great many books specifically titled 'Death in the Long Grass' in the fiction genre other than the one by Capstick. However, books that deal with themes of danger in the wild, like 'The Most Dangerous Game' by Richard Connell, can be related. It's about a man being hunted in a jungle - like setting, which has some similarities in terms of the sense of peril and the natural setting as one might expect from a 'death in the long grass' type of story.

Forced out by her step-mother, she was driven to desperation and had no way of surviving other than to sign herself away and marry herself into a rich and influential family. Three years into the marriage, her wealthy husband had spoiled her to heavens. The only problem was that they had no inheritors in their family. Inside the luxurious mansion, Pei Qiqi angrily threw a stack of newspaper onto the man, “The article is claiming that I am a hen who cannot lay eggs! But Tang Yu, it’s you who has issues!” The man put down the newspaper and agreed to what his young wife was saying, “Why would they write false information? Your zodiac is the pig!” “Tang! Yu!” She stomped her feet out of anger. The man grinned, “So what we have no kids? You are my little baby.” Pei Qiqi thought, how did this scene change so fast!

The theme of the unknown often plays a big role. The long grass obscures what lies ahead, creating an air of mystery. It could be a predator waiting to pounce or some other unforeseen danger. There is also the theme of man versus nature.

Definitely check out 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman. It's about a boy who is raised in a graveyard by the ghosts there, and death is an ever - present theme. In this book, you'll see how the boy grows up in a world full of the dead and how he copes with his own mortality. Another good pick is 'Station Eleven' which, while not solely about death, has a lot to do with how society changes after a major pandemic that causes a large number of deaths. And 'The Hunger Games' series, in a way, is also death fiction as the characters are constantly in a life - or - death situation in the arena.

I would recommend 'Neuromancer' by William Gibson. While not directly about a future without death, it has concepts related to digital existence and the blurring of boundaries between life and non - life, which could be related to a future where death might be overcome. Also, 'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson has elements that could be seen as precursors to a future without death, such as the idea of virtual avatars and digital realms.
