Description
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 atent dead.’Publishers Weekly
An invasion of fashionable blood-sucking vampyres are no match for the wacky wands and zany spells of a coven of rural witches in this wonderfully entertaining Discworld novel from New York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett.
In a fit of enlightened democracy and ebullient goodwill brought on by the birth of his new daughter, King Verence invites Uberwalds undead, the sophisticated Magpyrs, into Lancre. Everyone knows you dont allow vampires into your castleunless you want permanent guests. Now that theyre here, these wine-drinking, garlic-eating, fancy waistcoat-wearing, sun-loving stylish vampires have no intention of leaving . . . ever.
But the modern, urban Magpyres havent met their old-fashioned country neighbors yet.
Lacres coven of fourGranny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat, and young Agnesdont take kindly to murderous intruders. They know theres only one way to win a bloody fight. Go for the throat, or as the vampyres themselves say . . . Carpe Jugulum!
