*Sub-series: Witches of Lancre
*Focus of Satire: Vampire Fiction

Aside from their usual weaknesses, [[vampire]]s seem to have a psychological need to set up things for would-be heroes to easily slay them: curtains that can be pulled aside easily, objects that can be used as improvised holy icons, chairs with sharp legs that can be used as stakes and so on.  A new generation of vampires, the de Magpyr family from Überwald, decides to adapt to this and set up shop in Lancre, deposing the original and far more moderate and honorable vampire count who lived there. This pits them against the witches and a soft-spoken Omnian reverend, the former of which know all too well how stories work.
