Carpe Jugulum (; Latatian for "seize the throat", cf. Carpe diem) is a comic fantasy novel by English writer Terry Pratchett, the twenty-third in the Discworld series. It was first published in 1998.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.

Nuestras amigas las brujas tienen que resolver esta vez una invasión de vampiros que se han “aggiornado” y de qué manera. También aparece un sacerdote de una extraña religión, cuyo dios obliga a rechazar a todos los demás dioses.
La novela empieza muy floja, de tal forma que lo único que me gustaba eran los juegos de palabras. Luego va cobrando fuerza, alguno de los personajes empieza a tomar cuerpo y la lectura se vuelve mucho más entretenida.

As much as I like the recurring characters in the disk world, I really enjoy the spontaneous characters that Mr Pratchett puts in his books, for example Igor in this book. We know the Igor character from many tales but Mr Pratchett quickly twist him into one of his own and makes them delightful.
