Book detail: Carpe Jugulum: (Discworld Novel 23) is presented as a focused source page for quotations connected with this book, collection, transcript, or source record.
Carpe Jugulum is the twenty-third novel in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. The story follows the kingdom of Lancre as it is visited by a family of modern, intellectual vampires who have overcome many of the classic vampire vulnerabilities, such as sunlight and garlic. The local witches, including Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, must confront this new breed of undead, who are more interested in psychological manipulation than brute force. The novel explores themes of tradition versus progress, the nature of belief, and the power of self-determination, all delivered with Pratchett's characteristic wit and satire.
