Cold Days at Castle Drax:
Hellfire. Brimstone. Awkward family dinners.
No one in their right mind wants to live at Castle Drax.
Thatâs okay. The Vexx family arenât.
On a crumbling cliff overlooking a dark, emerald sea looms the forbidding Castle Drax. Itâs ancient, itâs freezing, itâs falling apartâand itâs home.
But hard times have come around, and the demonically dysfunctional Vexx familyâs in dire straits. Thereâs nothing for it but to sell the castle and move onâif they can find a buyer.
And if, in their heart of hearts, they can really bear to leaveâŚ
Come pay a visit, if youâd like. Meet the sinister Count Vexx and his charming daughter, Lulu. Make pastries in the kitchen with Magwell, and buff up the motorcar with Stormdust. Ring the lugubrious doorbell, if you want to give everyone a fright (including yourself).
Just donât, whatever you do, go down into the cellarâŚ
Thatâs life at Castle Drax. Itâs:
âA fate worse than death.â â Count Vexx
âI have seen worse. Much worse.â â Fane
âIt really isnât all that bad, lovie. Not once youâve got used to it.â â Magwell
âEverything will be alright! Definitely!â â Luna Vexx
