Description
Carpe Jugulum A Discworld Novel #23 Terry Pratchett HarperCollins 2014
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, even stylish, sophisticated ones with fancy waistcoats -- 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. Standing between the Magpyr family and Lancre are a coven of four:
Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat, and young Agness. And 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!
