Carpe Jugulum - A Discworld Novel

"The novel exudes the curious feel of old-fashioned vampire and Frankenstein legends. . . . Pratchett lampoons everything from Christian superstition to Swiss Army knives here, proving that the fantasy satire of Discworld ''still ate''nt dead.''" -- Publishers Weekly The twenty-third novel in the Discworld series from New York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett King Verence, in a fit of enlightened democracy and ebullient goodwill, invites Uberwald''s undead, the Magpyrs, into Lancre to celebrate the birth of his daughter. But everyone knows you don''t invite vampires into your house - unless you want permanent guests. Once ensconced within the castle, these wine-drinking, garlic-eating, sun-loving modern vampires have no intention of leaving . . . ever. As the Lancre living are about to discover, there''s only one way to fight. Go for the throat, or as the vampyres themselves say . . . Carpe Jugulum!
