Carpe Jugulum Carpe Jugulum 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. Count Magpyr and family, vampires from Überwald, are invited to the naming of Magrat and King Verence's daughter, to be conducted by the Omnian priest, Mightily Oats.
