About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.
The audiobook of Carpe Jugulum is narrated by Indira Varma (Game of Thrones; Luther; This Way Up). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Steven Cree (Outlander; A Discovery of Witches) voices the Nac Mac Feegles. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.
"'Carpe Jugulum,' read Agnes aloud. 'That's . . . well, Carpe Diem is Seize the Day, so this means -'
'Go for the throat . . .'"
Vampires have come to Lancre, but they're not what you'd expect. Sure, they drink blood and view humans as dinner, but they're modern and sophisticated. They've got style and fancy waistcoats. And they're not a bit afraid of garlic.
The Magpyr family are out of the casket and want a bite of the future. But they haven't met the neighbours yet.
Between them and Lancre stand a coven of four - Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat and young Agnes - and they don't take kindly to murderous intruders . . .
'An enduring, endearing presence in comic literature' Guardian
'Incredibly funny . . . compulsively readable' The Times
Carpe Jugulum is the sixth book in the Witches series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.
The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Too bad about the feegles
This whole series was excellent until it came to the narration of the Wee Free Men. After having listened to the Tiffany Aching series this interpretation was a MAJOR disappointment. I could barely understand the little buggers at all. Please do better

Nailed it.
I read that Indira Varma really, really wanted to do this - and it shows. She is clearly enjoying herself. Her reading is crystal clear, and her Nanny and Granny are EXACTLY what I always thought they sounded like. There must be ten different British accents in there, and Varma manages them all well.
The Feegles could have been clearer, but I have to assume that this was a production decisoin, not a failure.
I haven't been an audiobooker till now, since I read fast and don't really want to put 12 hours into a book. But I was able to work this into some walks, and listen whike doing easy computer work. Nevertheless, I found my attention wandering in some of the inevitable slower bits.
On the other hand, I got some of the jokes that I missed when reading,
Excellent overall.
