"'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 . . .

'An enduring, endearing presence in comic literature' Guardian

'Incredibly funny . . . compulsively readable' The Times

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

The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Wonderful Listen

I normally listen to another narrator and was a little concerned but I am glad I went for this anyway. 10/10 couldn’t be happier with it. This story is so fun and unusual and I can’t recommend it enough.

great narration

The narration is absolutely perfect and trully brings the characters to life. Worth listening to the audiobook even if you have already read the books.

Easily one of my top 10 stories

Absolutely amazing. So many great quotes, and interesting character developments. Definitely worthy of listening too several times.
