Terry Pratchett: Carpe Jugulum

Now, there is a couple of authors or series I love without question. I will just devour everything and won’t care if it’s about the most boring topic in the world. Pratchett’s Discworld is one of the aforementioned. So I may be a little blind about this.
It was, as usual, funny as hell. You’ve got this family of vampires who want to blend in. Their taking over an entire town is a minor thing compared to what they try to achieve. To be like other people – walk in the sun at least. How, you may ask? 
Well, quite easily. The father shows them holy objects, puts garlic in their food ... just does everything he can in order to make them more resistant to all the “allergies” vampires have.
It is written in the same style as all Pratchett’s stories, so if you like Discworld, you will like this. I just chose this one because its main focus is on the vampires, which is the main topic of this blog. So hooray, even one of the most famous satire series touched our beloved topic.




GENRE: satyre just doesn't sum it up, Pratchett should have his own category
FANGS OUT: funny
FANGS RETRACTING: not really, it’s awesome
TOTAL SCORE:
