“Take It By the Throat” is a novel about the end of the “Discosvet” series by Terry Pratchett.
The Lancrean witches soon have to ruin the native lands. Before King Verence, unsafe guests arrived from Uberwald: the homeland of vampires who love fruity wine, snack on tea and soak in the sun. And even today vampires are not at all afraid of holy water; Guests are likely to be lost in Lancry forever, they will want to establish new orders, and for the unlucky, a simple command is heard * Carpe Jugulum * - “Take by the throat”!

It’s okay, just Tituni Oґґ, Maharat Chasnik, Annes Nitt and, of course, Babun Doshchevisk under the power to restore the kingdom through a change of power and a cultivated lust for blood.
