Carpe Jugulum

Carpe Jugulum is a Discworld novel set in Lancre and centered on the witches, especially Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat, and Agnes. The story begins when a modern, self-assured vampire family arrives in the kingdom and quickly proves far more dangerous than old-fashioned folklore would suggest. What follows is not a light gothic parody so much as a clash between Lancre’s stubborn, practical witchcraft and an enemy that is polished, intelligent, and frighteningly adaptable.

The novel has the familiar wit of the Witches books, but there is a darker edge running through it, with questions of belief, influence, and what it really means to resist domination. The setting remains earthy and intimate, yet the threat feels unusually invasive, as if everyday life itself is being quietly taken over. Readers can expect a sharp, funny fantasy with horror elements, strong character interplay, and a more serious undercurrent than the title might first suggest. It is the sixth Witches novel within Discworld, though its premise is clear enough to work on its own.
