Carpe Jugulum

Incredibly funny . . . compulsively readableThe Times

‘Satirical fantasy with a core of character self-discovery. Brilliant’ 5-star reader review

"Carpe Jugulum, read Agnes aloud. Thats . . . well, Carpe Diem is Seize the Day, so this means -
Go for the throat . . ."

Vampires have come to Lancre, but theyre not what youd expect.

Sure, they drink blood and view humans as dinner, but theyre modern and sophisticated. Theyve got style and fancy waistcoats. And theyre not a bit afraid of garlic.

The Magpyr family are out of the casket and want a bite of the future. But they havent met the neighbours yet.

Between them and Lancre stand a coven of four - Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat and young Agnes - and they dont take kindly to murderous intruders . . .

Carpe Jugulum is the sixth book in the Witches series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
