Mightily Oats has not picked a good time to be priest. He thought he`d come to Lancre for a simple ceremony. Now he`s caught up in a war between vampires and witches. There`s Young Agnes, who is really in two minds about everything - Magrat, who is trying to combine witchcraft and nappies, Nanny Granny Weatherwax, who is big trouble. And the vampires are intelligent. They`ve got style and fancy waistcoats. They`re out of the casket and want a bite of the future. Mightily Oats knows he has a prayer, but he wishes he had an axe. "Carpe Jugulum" is Terry Pratchett`s twenty-third "Discworld" novel - but the first to star vampires.
