Description

Mightily Oats has not picked a good time to be priest. He thought he'd come to the mountain kingdom of Lancre for a simple little religious ceremony. Now he's caught up in a war between vampires and witches, and he's not sure there is a right side.

There's the witches: young Agnes who is really in two minds about everything, Magrat, who is trying to combine witchcraft and nappies, Nanny Ogg who is far too knowing...and Granny Weatherwax, who is big trouble.

And the vampires are intelligent - not easily got rid of with a garlic enema or going to the window, grasping the curtains and saying, "I don't know about you, but isn't it a bit stuffy in here?" 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: Fast-paced, Funny and Dark

#Audible1 - When liberal-minded King Verence is daft enough to invite vampires from Uberwald to his baby daughter's christening, it's up to Agnes Nitt, junior witch, to save the country. Of the Lancre witches, Granny Weatherwax has gone AWOL in a sulk (thanks to a missing invitation), Nanny Ogg falls under the vampires' spell (just like everyone else in Lancre), Magrat is wholly engrossed in her baby -- and Agnes is the only one who can see the vampires for what they are (thanks to her alter ego, Perdita).

Add to that Hodgesarrrgh the Falconer, a pimply neophyte Omnian priest, and an entire herd of Nac Mac Feegles, and this is Terry Pratchett at his funniest and darkest -- with a bone-chilling and entirely gratifying plot twist at the end, just when you think that things couldn't get any worse.

Add to that, this audiobook is narrated by Sir Tony Robinson of Baldric fame ("Blackadder") and that results in 3 hours and 14 minutes of pure heaven. I prefer Sir Tony's narration for Pratchett's books since, in spite of his title, he doesn't sound like a BBC announcer but instead tells the story with robust glee (complete with west country voices).

I can't tell you what a treat it was to listen to this audiobook and I wish Sir Tony narrated all of Pratchett's books. Highly recommended -- but it's so fast-paced you may find yourself wanting to go get the print book and re-read the whole thing so you can savor every pointy-toothed moment.
