Save:A smart, hilarious send-up of vampire legends with heart and bite - best enjoyed if you're already a fan of the Discworld witches.
On Discworld, it's not a good time to be a priest, especially when you're caught up in a war between vampires and witches. The vamps are out of the casket and want a bite of the future. To get rid of them, you'll need more than a garlic enema. Nanny Ogg, Granny Weatherwax and the rest are back. Yet another wonderful Terry Pratchett comic fantasy novel, this one featuring witches defending the world from a band of enlightened vampires whose leader has conditioned them to withstand most traditional anti-vampire measures. Pretty good. Coherent and sufficiently easy to follow along if you've read enough other Discworld novels to know characters and history. The witches are growing on me more and more, and this vampire or vampyre-oriented novel is not just funny punny, there is a page-turning tension to find out what happens next.
