No one in their right mind wants to live at Castle Drax — ancient, freezing, crumbling into the sea. Fortunately, the Vexx family aren’t in their right mind at all.
Luna Vexx — Lulu, to everyone who loves her — is the family’s resident optimist, the one who insists, against all evidence, that everything will be alright. It’s a useful trait, growing up in a castle with a lugubrious doorbell, a demon or two in the household, and a father who considers the whole place “a fate worse than death.” When hard times catch up with the Vexxes for real and Castle Drax must be sold, the family discovers just how far they’ll go to stay together.
The story continues at Hell’s Seventh Manor, where Lady Amphelise “Phel” Vexx has been holding the dark fort for centuries — soul-storms, recalcitrant demons, and endless complaints from the damned and the living alike. Worn thin and running on fumes, Phel is about to face the busiest, strangest season Seventh House has seen in generations. But even in the depths of Hell, joy has a way of turning up where you least expect it.
Two glittering Decopunk mosaics of linked tales — life, love, curses, and improbable sunshine — collected together at last. The complete Chronicles of Vexx, laced throughout with Charlotte E. English’s trademark humour and quirky charm.
