They exert a hypnotic charm over normal people which prevents them from realizing that the vampires are taking over Lancre. They munch on garlic, aren't bothered by bright light, cross moving water and are impervious to religious symbols. The Magpyr family have made themselves much more formidable enemies than old fashioned vampires by building up tolerance to the normal methods used to defeat vampires. Once again, the witches, Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Agnes Nitt (with her alter ego Perdita) have to save the mountain realm of Lancre. The Magpyrs are not keen on going home to Überwald and plan on making Lancre their new home with its obvious benefit of a whole new population to snack on - hence the scarves worn by the victims to cover their neck wounds. Plot summary Ĭount Magpyr and family are invited to the naming of Magrat and King Verence's daughter, to be conducted by the Omnian priest, Mightily Oats. The title is a play on the Latin phrase carpe diem ('seize the day') and ' Jugular vein' - in other words ' Go for the throat'.

In Carpe Jugulum, Terry Pratchett imitates the traditions of gothic 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.
