Cold Days at Castle Drax:
Hellfire. Brimstone. Awkward family dinners.
No one in their right mind wants to live at Castle Drax.
Thatās okay. The Vexx family arenāt.
On a crumbling cliff overlooking a dark, emerald sea looms the forbidding Castle Drax. Itās ancient, itās freezing, itās falling apartāand itās home.
But hard times have come around, and the demonically dysfunctional Vexx familyās in dire straits. Thereās nothing for it but to sell the castle and move onāif they can find a buyer.
And if, in their heart of hearts, they can really bear to leaveā¦
Come pay a visit, if youād 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 donāt, whatever you do, go down into the cellarā¦
Thatās life at Castle Drax. Itās:
āA fate worse than death.ā ā Count Vexx
āI have seen worse. Much worse.ā ā Fane
āIt really isnāt all that bad, lovie. Not once youāve got used to it.ā ā Magwell
āEverything will be alright! Definitely!ā ā Luna Vexx
