I'm going to gradually reorder the whole set, one book at a time. All were normal human voices - unlike old ones which had the clarity of an old creaky door or possibly chalk on a blackboard. Not overacted, either - and not a lot of 'music' fillers or any background stuff. I actually LIKED the separate 'voices' of DEATH and the 'footnotes.' Usually I like one narrator for the entire book, but this was well done. Much to my surprise - and delight - it was excellent. And anyway, since this book was never released before, I took the plunge and bought it. If you dropped the treble and upped the bass, it was just muffled, not improved. No amount of adjusting made them sound better. I'm not terribly picky about sound, but it was obvious that the old versions wouldn't play on modern speakers.

Since I had never heard this one, it was the 'new' version or no version. The thing is, a lot of the older books have become unlistenable. This is one of two books that was never released with the 'old narrators,' either Nigel Planer or Stephen Briggs. I was afraid the new version would be bad but. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this. The first book in the Discworld series – The Colour of Magic – was published in 1983. But they haven't met the neighbours yet.īetween them and Lancre stand a coven of four - Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat and young Agnes - and they don't take kindly to murderous intruders.Ĭarpe Jugulum is the sixth book in the Witches series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order. The Magpyr family are out of the casket and want a bite of the future. Sure, they drink blood and view humans as dinner, but they're modern and sophisticated.

Vampires have come to Lancre, but they're not what you'd expect. 'That's.well, Carpe Diem is Seize the Day, so this means -' Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan. Steven Cree ( Outlander A Discovery of Witches) voices the Nac Mac Feegles. BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy ( Love Actually Pirates of the Caribbean Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz ( Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. The audiobook of Carpe Jugulum is narrated by Indira Varma ( Game of Thrones Luther This Way Up).
