The Grim Reaper doesn't appear in A Christmas Carol!!! It's the 'Ghost of Christmas yet to come'!
And for books in which he DOES appear, all I can say is, Terry Pratchett!

Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Pardoner's Tale" from _The Canterbury Tales_ has a character who may well be Death.
A young man dies, dead from the plague. His friends want to kill Death for killing their friend, so they go on a journey to find Death and kill him. (No sympathy for the young men; they are not sympathetic characters in this tale.) Anyway, along their journey they meet an old man whom they tease and treat rudely.
He tells them that they will find Death under that tree over there. They go over to the tree and find instead a great pile of money. Being the sneaky, conniving thieves they are, they each decide to kill the others and keep the money for themselves. Long story short: they succeed in killing each other, so they really did find Death under the tree.
Some critics believe that the old man they teased was Death himself.
This comes from Chaucer's collection of tales written around 1390.

The books that immediately come to mind are "Mort", "The Book Thief" and "On a Pale Horse" by Piers Anthony.
