Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett
4.0

Any Discworld novel is a treat. (Alright, maybe not the first two, but you get my drift.) Any Discworld novel starring Granny Weatherwax, however, is certain to be enjoyable. She's my favourite Discworld character, and in this outing she's up against a family of Very Modern Vampires, who are doing their best to drag themselves into the Century of the Fruitbat while still retaining revolting habits and even more revolting retainers. (I've never been much of a fan of the Igors, one can almost feel the spit while reading.) The vamps are Treating People Like Things, which is the greatest sin possible in Granny's world, and though it takes a bit out of her she's determined to send them the way of fairies and fairy godmothers and so forth. That way is further down the food chain, the one that has Granny on top, and honestly I never get tired of reading that.
