Description
The twenty-third Discworld novel and sixth in the Witches series - revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans.
'Carpe Jugulum,' read Agnes aloud. 'That's . . . well, Carpe Diem is Seize the Day, so this means - "Go for the throat . . ."
Vampires have come to Lancre, but they're not what you'd expect. Sure, they drink blood and view humans as dinner, but they're modern and sophisticated. They've got style and fancy waistcoats. And they're not a bit afraid of garlic.
The Magpyr family are out of the casket and want a bite of the future. But they haven't met the neighbours yet.
Between them and Lancre stand a coven of four - Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat, and young Agnes - and they don't take kindly to murderous intruders . . .
'An enduring, endearing presence in comic literature' - Guardian
'Incredibly funny . . . compulsively readable' - The Times
Carpe Jugulum is the sixth book in the Witches series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett is frequently praised for its clever humour and charming narrative. According to the Independent, it showcases Pratchett's consistently humorous voice, while Frank Cottrell Boyce from the Guardian highlights Pratchett's ability to reimagine our own world rather than merely constructing an alternative one. The Sunday Times commends the book for its engaging dialogue, compelling illogic, and distinctive whimsical style.

About the Author
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any. www.terrypratchettbooks.com
