	Terry Pratchett: Carpe Jugulum
		Carpe Jugulum opens on the eve of Magrat and King Verence's daughter's naming ceremony.
		In Carpe Jugulum, the vampires also know those things and have either gone out of their way to avoid them or grown accustomed enough that they aren't bothered by them.
		Carpe Jugulum serves to remind the readers that good satires are more than merely funny.

	Crescent Blues\| Terry Pratchett: Carpe Discworld
		Carpe Jugulum purports to be Pratchett's 23rd Discworld novel.
		We must take this statistic on faith, since the only staff member who might know for certain (he conducted the interview) promptly scampered off to England to be closer to The Source.
		I vary it, though -- a lot of Carpe Jugulum and The Fifth Elephant are not funny and not meant to be.

	Carpe Jugulum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carpe Jugulum is a comic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett, the twenty third in the Discworld series.
		In Carpe Jugulum, Terry Pratchett pastiches the traditions of vampire literature, playing with the mythic archetypes and featuring a tongue-in-cheek reversal of 'vampyre' subculture with young vampires who wear bright clothes, drink wine, and stay up until noon.
		Count Magpyr and family are invited to the naming of Magrat and King Verence's daughter, to be conducted by the Omnian priest, Mightily Oats.

	Large Print Reviews - Carpe Jugulum, by Terry Pratchett - Book Review
		The main plot of Carpe Jugulum follows the attempt by a group of devious vampires to seize control of the Kingdom of Lancre, which just happens to be guarded by a group of witches with such delightful names as Granny Weatherwax and Magrat Garlick.
		Best of all, Carpe Jugulum is a stand-alone book, and it provides an excellent opportunity for anyone curious about the series to sample a little of Pratchett's unique brand of satire.
		Carpe Jugulum can be purchased directly from Ulverscroft, the parent company of Charnwood Large Print.

	Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Carpe Jugulum (or "seize the throat") is exactly what the vampires -- or, rather, vampyres: as Vlad says, it's more modern -- here intend to do, and to as many of Lancre's inhabitants as possible.
		Lancre's witches to save their homeland from the vampyres, who have developed new techniques to overcome many traditional vampyric weaknesses and who have decided to take over Lancre and turn it to their purposes.
		The plot and subplots in Carpe Jugulum all relate to the power of belief and how it affects the world.

	Terry Pratchett: Carpe Jugulum - an infinity plus review
		As with almost any Discworld novel, Carpe Jugulum starts with a select bundle of clichés, adds seasoning, a twist of the unexpected and then the author lets it rise with just a few well-concealed ingredients to spice up the mix.
		In this case, the clichés he starts with are a royal christening with suitable witchy godmothers (for this is a Lancre story, which means Granny Weatherwax and her coven are in attendance) and some quickly unwelcome guests (a family of vampires from neighbouring Uberwald, invited in as a result of King Verence's political naïveté).
		As a result, Carpe Jugulum is an enormously satisfying read, clever in more ways than just being very funny (which almost goes without saying).

		Until a few chapters before the end you are kept in the dark (a vampire-riddled dark, scenting of blood and things profoundly evil) as to whether the witches will come out on top.
		"Carpe Jugulum", IMHO, is the first Discworld novel where the plot is to thick it makes you forget that Terry Pratchett is no more as relentlessly funny as he used to be.
		Which isn't to say that "Carpe Jugulum" isn't funny, no, indeed, it's a very entertaining book that will cause the occasional slap on your knee as well as an admiring nod here and there.

		I love all of the Granny Weatherwax/Nanny Ogg Discworld novels, and even though "Carpe Jugulum" tackles some unusually serious themes (its vampires are truly evil, unlike the loveable, teetotalling Otto in "The Truth"), it is still vintage Pratchett and vintage Granny.
		With Carpe Jugulum, Terry Pratchett returned to the witches of Lancre series.
		Carpe Jugulum is already the 23rd instalment of the immensely popular Discworld series and still Terry Pratchett seems far from loosing his magical touch.

		Carpe Jugulum By Terry Pratchett Through the shredded fl clouds a fire moved like a dying star, falling back to earth -the earth, that is, of the Discworld- -but unlike any star had ever done before, it sometimes managed to steer its fall, sometimes rising, sometimes twisting, but inevitably heading down.
