Carpe Jugulum: Terry Pratchett

"`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 . . .

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