comment
The 23rd Discworld novel and the sixth in the Witches Theme.King Verence and Queen Magrat of Lancre have had their first child, a daughter, and have invited all the nearby rulers to her naming ceremony. Unfortunately, this includes the de Magpyr family of vampires from neighboring Ãœberwald, and now that they've been invited to Lancre, they have no intention of leaving. It's up to the witches, along with a drippy Omnian priest called Mightily Oats, to defeat them and save the kingdom from its new vampire overlords.Preceded by The Last Continent, followed by The Fifth Elephant. Preceded in the Witches series by Maskerade, followed by The Wee Free Men.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Omnianism is pretty much a Discworld version of Christianity, right down to having an instrument of torture as its most holy symbol.

Improvised Cross
 Carpe Jugulum / int_16f6e05
comment
Improvised Cross: Weaponized, where the vampires have built up an immunity to all the traditional vampire repellents including garlic and holy symbols (crosses are not mentioned, but there are so many religions on the Disc there's probably one or two). This backfires spectacularly when Granny gets in their heads and removes their immunity to holy symbols—but because they got that immunity by repeatedly studying such symbols, most of which are just simple geometric figures, they can now find such symbols basically everywhere. Also invoked by the old Count de Magpyr, who, being a Fair-Play Villain, helpfully decorated his castle with easily-bendable wall decorations.

Genre Savvy: In a low-level fashion, the "spontaneous" mob feels something is wrong when met by the Count, since they know the typical reaction to a mob should be screaming defiance from a burning lab, or fighting the hero on the ramparts, as opposed to calmly smoking a cigar.

The Worf Effect
 Carpe Jugulum / int_178ca149
comment
The Worf Effect: In a Continuity Nod, the Count dismisses the previous enemies Granny dispatched as "inbred elves and gormless humans". More traditionally, the first thing the Magpyrs do is beat Granny in psychic battle. This gets Subverted in the end, as the Count failed to notice that the witches never defeated the villains themselves, they just meddled so a Deuteragonist could get the cojones/chance/abilities to do so. The first indication of how formidable the Nac Mac Feegle can be? Greebo is scared of them.

Villain Ball
 Carpe Jugulum / int_1cc2ea8d
comment
Villain Ball: Invoked by the old Count, who allows himself to die so that no one ever tries to render him Deader than Dead. In effect, Granny enforces this trope on the other de Magpyrs when they ingest her Borrowed blood, and with it, her refusal to run when faced with a losing battle and tendency to bluff on a weak hand.

Stealth Pun: The nervous and neurotic Mightily Oats's outfit - a broad-brimmed hat and a black robe - sounds an awful lot like a preacher for the Quakers, and would make him a perfect mascot for Quaker Oats. (This might be coincidental, since the Quaker Oats Company is American.)

Chekhov's Gag
 Carpe Jugulum / int_22cf50f9
comment
Chekhov's Gag: Oats lists some of the ways vampires can be defeated, which depends on where they're from, including stuffing a lemon in their mouth. While trying to leave Lancre Castle, Nanny encounters a vampire, and politely asks where in Uberwald he's from. On learning, she stuffs a lemon in his mouth, smacks him on the head to make him bite, and escapes while he's incapacitated.

As the Good Book Says...
 Carpe Jugulum / int_2439b588
comment
As the Good Book Says...: When Mightily Oats must build a fire in a wet, cold forest, he looks for guidance in the Book of Om. First, he runs into irrelevant passages ("...and in that time, in the land of the Cyrinites, there was a multiplication of camels..."), but then he finds this: "Where there is darkness we will make a great light." So, he takes the book and makes a great light. Given what we see of Brutha and Om in Small Gods, that's probably entirely intentional.

Uninvited to the Party
 Carpe Jugulum / int_288ce9ed
comment
Uninvited to the Party: Granny Weatherwax isn't invited to the christening of Verence and Magrat's daughter, which hurts her far more than she cares to let on. In fact she had been invited, but the gold-framed invitation was stolen by a magpie belonging to a vampire. The fact that the baby is named after her helps soften the blow once things are settled and the vampires banished.

Bilingual Bonus
 Carpe Jugulum / int_294ed981
comment
Bilingual Bonus: The title is a play on the Latin phrase "Carpe Diem" (seize the day). "Carpe Jugulum" means "seize the throat". Sadly, in a lot of languages, the phrase "Carpe Diem" is not commonly used in its Latin form, which also led to the book's title getting translated to the actual language and losing the bilingual bonus. The musical beer stein that Shirl Ogg gave Nanny plays a German tune that translates as "I am a drunken pig".

Even Evil Has Standards
 Carpe Jugulum / int_319e4a2f
comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Once Count von Magpyr takes baby Esmerelda hostage - something the Old Count would never have done - Igor decides that enough's enough and revives the Old Count, though that may more be a case of Igor's personal Godzilla Threshold being crossed. (Killing his dog probably factored into it as well.) A more classic example is him being stunned when confronted with the prospect of the Magpyrs using the mist trick to get through the vault door that Magrat and baby Esmerelda are behind, simply because it's so unsporting. Even the Count, though his bar is set much lower. When Lacrimosa mentions they should put Granny out of her misery, she likens it to when the Count said the same thing about her cat. The Count clarifies that what he really meant was for her to stop what she was doing to it. The villagers liked the Old Count more than the new one because he never acted like anything other than what he was, which was a bloodthirsty predator - albeit a polite one who genuinely respected them. The new Count tries to convince people that the murderous, domineering nature of vampires is something everyone should be pleased about.

Burn the Witch!
 Carpe Jugulum / int_352def2a
comment
When Granny tells Oats that the supposed "witches" his church used to burn were really just harmless old women who spoke up or couldn't run away, she adds darkly that if any actual witches were involved, they were the ones doing the burning. ("We ain't all nice.") This serves as a subtle nod to Witches Abroad, when she saw a Genuan being beheaded for stealing, and concluded correctly that a witch (namely, Lily) was running the place.

Split Personality: Agnes calls her second personality, which embodies the "bad girl" personality traits she would secretly like to have, "Perdita X Dream". Also Mightily Oats, to a much lesser extent. He has an habit of calling his "two selves" Good Oats and Bad Oats, but he hasn't acknowledged them as separate personalities. Both his pious and skeptical sides agree with their names, but have different interpretations of who is who.

Blatant Lies: After being told to leave Granny alone, Nanny Ogg and Magrat take roughly five seconds (Perdita counted) before declaring they accidentally dropped something in the caves and must go back and check. Agnes tries pointing out she never saw Nanny remove the pipe she supposedly lost, which makes Nanny say she'll have to go lose it. When told magpies had simply stolen her invitation to the naming ceremony, Granny pauses for a long while before responding that she knew this. No-one bothers correcting her.

Either "World Domination", or Something About Bananas: Mightily Oats notes that although the Old Book of Om is very clear about what should be done to witches, there's a school of thought which believes the passage in question has been mistranslated and was originally referring to cockroaches, and the bit about them bringing lascivious dreams might just as easily be read in context as being about boiled lobsters.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Carpe Jugulum / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The Nac Mac Feegle are pretty similar to their later portrayal in the Tiffany Aching books, but their accent is quite stronger. Also, Terry stated that childrens' books are "...written with the knob turned down a level, so it will be more accessible to the younger market." This was probably deliberate "de-obfuscation" so that young readers wouldn't be going "Mummy, what's he saying there?" every other line. The Watsonian explanation is that the different clans just have different accents; there are cultural differences too, like this clan embracing contract law instead of fearing lawyers, something alluded to later on with Jeannie - who came from the Long Lake clan, this clan - embracing literacy and teaching her husband to read.

At Least I Admit It: The Old Count, who never saw the point in trying to hide being a blood-thirsty predator and never pretended that not killing someone (unlike the Magpyrs, it's not actually clarified he actually *has*) should somehow make them any more grateful to him. On the other hand, he was also a sportsman who gave his prey a fighting chance, targeted only adults, particularly 'only adventurous females over the age of 17 who looked good in a night-dress', and held those who defeated him in high regard as a Worthy Opponent, even reminiscing about it to their descendants.

comment
Pragmatic Villainy: The Count occasionally objects to his daughter's sadistic habits, but not for altruistic reasons. They discuss the phoenix, concluding that it's absurd for a bird to burn. After all, Lacrimosa tried with a chicken — the count says that she really should have killed it first because at least then it would've been quieter. The Old Count's Contractual Genre Blindness is in no small part a survival mechanism - so long as he gives people a sporting chance and isn't too hard to dust when people get fed up with him, the plucky villagers will just stake him and call it a day. If he becomes too much of a problem, someone will snap and render him Deader than Dead.

Convenient Weakness Placement: Deliberate on the part of the Old Count, who kept a flowing moat, easily-opened curtains, and objects that could be bent into religious symbols lying around to give his victims a fighting chance. This encouraged his killers not to take extreme efforts. Be easily dispatched and it'll be called a day once you're dust. Be hard to kill and they'll try a lot harder to end you for good.

Once Count von Magpyr takes baby Esmerelda hostage - something the Old Count would never have done - Igor decides that enough's enough and revives the Old Count, though that may more be a case of Igor's personal Godzilla Threshold being crossed. (Killing his dog probably factored into it as well.) A more classic example is him being stunned when confronted with the prospect of the Magpyrs using the mist trick to get through the vault door that Magrat and baby Esmerelda are behind, simply because it's so unsporting.

Dehumanization: Granny's yardstick for evil, and also the main difference between the Count von Magpyr and the Old Count. The Count views humans as cattle who should appreciate the efficient system they've built with no bodycount to the village; the Old Count would attack and kill people, but respected their rules, restricted himself to those who could fight back, offered them a fighting chance, and never deluded himself into thinking that anyone should be grateful for his presence - yet, oddly, because of that they sort of were.

Heel Realization: The Count outright asks the villagers of Escrow to look at him, and then at the newly-resurrected previous Count, believing that the comparison will convince them that he's the better of the two. But Villainous Breakdown ensues when he realizes that being savvy is considered far, far worse than the old Count's intentional use of the Villain Ball. Vlad gets this too, presumably, since he genuinely believes that the alternative for Escrow that his father offers is better than what it used to be.

Friendly Neighborhood Vampire
 Carpe Jugulum / int_982b6570
comment
Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: The vampyres try to portray themselves this way, but completely fail due to their Industrialized Evil being worse than popping up every few decades to terrorize the populace and get put down. The Old Count, due to his Fair-Play Villain status, ends up as this. Yes, he's a monster who feeds on the living, but he never pretended to be anything else, he's a Friendly Enemy who's free with the Villain Respect and restricts himself to targets who were of age, nobody ever got too seriously hurt, and fighting him is good sport for the local lads and the occasional lass (if adventurous and over the age of seventeen) every generation or so. Granny mentions that Lancre once had a vampire queen who denied her vampire nature, refusing to drink blood and getting by on blue steaks. Subverted in that she was an iron-fisted dictator; it just had nothing to do with her being a vampire.

Took a Level in Badass: With a little coaching from/pronounced irritation by Granny (using the same 'testing people all the time' method she sometimes shows to Magrat and Agnes, but perfects with Tiffany), Mightily Oats goes from a wishy-washy priest wracked with doubt and inner turmoil to chopping off the head of the evil Count Magpyr with a single axe blow.

Foreshadowing: Nanny Ogg's Know-Nothing Know-It-All nature is established early on, the witch's habit of refusing to admit they're wrong on something they know nothing about. It bites her in the arse when she insists she can resist the vampyres now that she knows what they are, even as Agnes and Perdita try to point out otherwise... and promptly gets herself charmed again. Vlad using Granny's catchphrase shortly after she gets bitten by the Magpyr family is a sign that Granny is turning them, rather than the other way around.

Our Vampires Are Different
 Carpe Jugulum / int_9f63d4f1
comment
Our Vampires Are Different: Thanks to the Count training them with a little exposure at a time, the Magpyrs are not affected by traditional vampire weaknesses such as garlic, holy symbols, holy water, and sunlight. Also, the vampires of the Magpyr family turn into flocks of magpies instead of bats. They're also capable of conventional reproduction, as Vlad and Lacci were both born as vampires. The trope is also invoked in the story, since the method for disposing a vampire depends on which village he's from. And a footnote compares vampirism to diseases — some are extremely virulent and deadly, and some just make you avoid fruit and walk funny.

Mind Control
 Carpe Jugulum / int_a19135a6
comment
King Verence is the only person other than Granny, Agnes, and Oats who manages at least to keep a small part of his mind intact from the vampyres' Mind Control, and his will is strong enough that they have to put an explicit enchantment ("a 'fluence") on him to keep him under control. Considering that Granny is a powerful witch who specialises in Psychic Powers (and even then, she states the Count came very close to getting her, in her own cottage), Agnes is a witch with the advantage of being in two minds all the time, and Oats is also in two minds and generally beneath the Magpyr family's notice, that is very impressive.

Wouldn't Hurt a Child
 Carpe Jugulum / int_a2b998a0
comment
Wouldn't Hurt a Child: When the witches go after Granny to the "gnarly ground", an Empathic Environment, Nanny says that it's perfectly safe to take Magrat's baby daughter with them. Igor notes that, by contrast with the new Count, the Old Count Magpyr restricted himself to victims who were scantly clad attractive females over seventeen. After Granny's blood has its effect on the vampires, she's certain that they won't hurt baby Esmerelda, because she wouldn't.

Status Quo Is God: The people of Lancre don't mind having a king with big ideas for change... just as long as he doesn't expect them to actually listen to any of them. They like how things are as it is, thank you. King Verence however manages to upset Nanny by telling her in no uncertain terms that change will come whether they likes it or not, and he intends for Lancre to be at the forefront of it. He's not exactly wrong about this, but the way he goes about it (inviting vampires) is absolutely terrible.

And I Must Scream: Used as a threat by Granny. While (presumably) there's no way to permanently kill off a vampire, it's entirely possible to, say, trap said vampire in gaseous form in a bottle and then drop the bottle from the edge of the Disc. (If you really want to kill a vampire, Witches Abroad indicates that being eaten by a cat will do the trick.)

Too Dumb to Fool: More like, Too Singleminded To Fool. Hodgesaargh reckons a bird is a bird is a bird, even if it's a phoenix, and goes hunting for it like he would any other. Similarly, the Count takes a look at him and sees a mind "crammed end to end with hawks," and doesn't influence him at all — partly because he can't, but also because he doesn't need to distract a guy that fixated.

More traditionally, the first thing the Magpyrs do is beat Granny in psychic battle. This gets Subverted in the end, as the Count failed to notice that the witches never defeated the villains themselves, they just meddled so a Deuteragonist could get the cojones/chance/abilities to do so.

Due to Lancre attitudes, parents will often give their kids names that just sound good, leading to poor sods with names like Total Biscuit, and one young girl who very nearly got named Chlamydia, until her mum realised "Sally" was easier to spell.

Granny not only manages to resist the vampyres' blood and to avoid becoming a vampire herself, but she infects the vampyres with her personality instead. With a little unconscious help from Granny, Agnes also avoids being turned, though Vlad tried.

Shout-Out
 Carpe Jugulum / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: "I do not drink... wine." He does drink whiskey, though. And later on: "I thought we didn't drink... wine." "They've killed Scrapth! The barthtudth!" Frankenweenie short. "I'm fed up with you smarming at me smarmily as if you were Mister Smarm!" Nanny Ogg's cunning plan. The Count and Countess reminisce about their honeymoon, where they met (and killed) Mr and Mrs Harker. A subtle one to Jurassic Park: Hodgesaargh the falconer does a quick count of his birds and is satisfied that none are missing, that he has 50 as usual. A more careful count, prompted by Granny Weatherwax, reveals that he actually has 51. Igor expresses disdain for the kind of servant who would fumble the genius brain he was sent for and substitute an insane one, hoping his masters didn't notice. This line from Igor (possibly an unintentional Shout-Out): The old Count's name being Bela is an obvious one to Bela Lugosi, but his physical appearance, being "rather taller than most men, and wearing evening dress that might have been in style once upon a time. His hair was streaked with grey and brushed back over his ears in a way that gave the impression his head had been designed for aerodynamic efficiency" is a very good description◊ of the other Trope Codifier for a Classical Movie Vampire. Several aspects of the phoenixes seem to owe just a little bit to Marvel's Phoenix Force - the habit of blending in with those around it by taking a form/host that allows it to do so until it needs to be a Phoenix, golden Glowing Eyes of Doom when matters get serious, a distinct lack of tolerance for evil, sharing memories, manifesting a house sized bird of flame around a small mortal form in battle and last but not least, in hanging out with Granny, a preference for powerful women with Psychic Powers. Speaking of the Phoenix, the hand puppet Hodgesaargh tries to use to lure it is inspired by famous British comedian Rod Hull's Emu puppet. Funnily enough, however, the way it's described (a long-necked yellow bird with large eyes) also matches another famous depiction of the legendary bird from the world of comics. To go with the Christianity parallels, it's mentioned Omnians had their own version of Martin Luther nailing his theses to the door of a cathedral... only, since this is the Disc, Omnians keep doing it, and so no-one can hear anything over the sound of furious nailing going on (also, they have to book the doors in advance). The line "There are as many types of vampires as there are strains of disease" is a riff on Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter saying there are as many species of vampire as there are beasts of prey.

Hoist by His Own Petard: The vampires' Acquired Poison Immunity to religious symbols backfires when that immunity wears off. They'd learned to recognize so many religious symbols by sight that everything looks like a religious symbol. The Old Count deliberately sets this up; he'll stock garlic and holy water in his castle, and installed large windows with curtains that can be easily moved aside to let sunlight in. (He's a Fair-Play Villain, and believes that if vampires win all of the time, they would be beyond saving.)

Acquired Poison Immunity: The de Magpyrs have built up a tolerance to, among other things, garlic, holy water, sunlight, and OCD. This actually ends up backfiring on them, when they realize that their weakness to holy symbols is dependent on them recognizing the symbols, and their training has given them a very broad knowledge of holy symbols, many of which are common geometric figures.

Assimilation Backfire: The Magpyrs suck Granny Weatherwax's blood and attempt to turn her. She survives the experience without becoming a vampire; the Magpyrs aren't so lucky, however, as feeding on Granny Weatherwax has allowed her to turn them. By the end, they're craving tea instead of blood and even talking like her.

I Never Told You My Name: When Agnes meets Vlad he says her name without being told. When she considers that he might have asked someone, Perdita asks her why anyone would ask for her name. Agnes' immediate thought is irritation at Perdita, so she misses the significance.

comment
Decon-Recon Switch: Of the Classical Movie Vampire, especially Dracula himself. The Magpyrs are the deconstruction, having overcome their various weaknesses and dropped the Villain Ball so that they can be effective monsters and rule over humanity. Granny presents the reconstruction, and this is demonstrated by the Old Count, who is a good sport about the traditional cycle — just enough of a threat that his victims get to have a fun adventure without anybody getting seriously hurt, including him.

Blood Bath
 Carpe Jugulum / int_e03533c8
comment
Blood Bath: One of the Magpyr ancestors in the story is a parody of Elizabeth Bathory (although her name's Carmilla). The modern Magpyrs believe the story of her bathing in the blood of two hundred virgins is highly exaggerated. The bath would overflow if you used more than eighty. They've checked.

 Carpe Jugulum / int_e543a655

Light Is Not Good: The vampyres are apparently less "dark" than traditional vampires. Appearances deceive. During Granny's Battle in the Center of the Mind, the right answer is walking towards the darkness, because that's where the light should go.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: A sign of just what the vampyres do to folk is that Mrs. Scorbic, the battleaxe of a cook for the Lancre Castle kitchens, is jolly, polite and cheerful. Agnes knows Nanny is really worried about Granny because when Agnes mentions buoys with balls of glass, Nanny doesn't immediately jump at the chance of making a lewd joke.

Naming Ceremony
 Carpe Jugulum / int_e9154c4f
comment
Naming Ceremony: The one for Magrat and Verence's daughter is key to the plot. The ceremony can apparently be performed by whatever priest is handy, and there seems to be a rule that whatever the priest says after "I now name you..." is irrevocable — which is how the girl in question ends up as Princess Esmerelda Margaret Note Spelling of Lancre. (Also mentioned: James What The Hell Is That Cow Doing In Here? Poorchick and King My God He's Heavy the First. Magrat herself is an example, as her name is a misspelling of Margaret.)

Borrowed Catchphrase
 Carpe Jugulum / int_f8c7515b
comment
Borrowed Catch Phrase: When Granny leaves, Nanny and Magrat's mannerisms start to change to reflect their new roles in the coven (Nanny has taken Granny's place as the Hag and Magrat has become the Mother). Nanny even uses Granny's "I can't be having with all this" at one point, but the other witches are quick to point out that it's just not the same. Borrowing Granny's mannerisms is one of the first signs that she's infected the vampyres instead of the other way around.

Beware the Nice Ones: Magrat, as before, is surprisingly tough when pushed into a corner (especially now that she's got Mama Bear tendencies as well), but "bad girl" Perdita is shocked at just how ruthless the previously pathetic Agnes becomes when she sees the Industrialized Evil of the Magpyrs.

Brick Joke

comment
Brick Joke: Oats, reading Omnian texts from information on vampires, notes they never actually say where the heart is. Later on, it turns out the old Count had a similar problem, and therefore left a helpful anatomy chart - being dead was fine, apparently, quite restful, but he objected to looking like a colander. Granny Weatherwax still aten't dead. Listing typical vampire weaknesses, Nanny Ogg notes that they can be crippled by someone stealing one of their socks (they're anal-retentive, see?). Later on, the Count mentions how he's overcome that weakness too, and it only irritated him a little. Meanwhile, Igor notes how the Old Count had this happen to him... and was upset, because they were expensive, dammit! Way, way back when Bad Ass was first mentioned in Equal Rites, Drum Billet observed that this was "a name with a story behind it" but he didn't have time to hear it. It finally appears here, after Agnes mentions the name to Oats.

Badass Preacher

Badass Preacher: Oats, after taking a few levels in badass. A key moment comes when he's alone with Granny in a wet, cold forest at night, afraid she's going to freeze to death, and the only dry material he has that could start a fire to warm her up is the paper his Bible... er, Book of Om is printed on. Looking for guidance, he finds a passage in it that says, "Where there is darkness we will make a great light..." He takes the Book... and makes a great light. Importantly, the whole book Oats had tried to gain faith by reading random passages from the Book of Om. When he meets Granny she stresses that he has the ability to make his own faith... and in the end, he does.
