Heinz Strunk once again invites us into a world in which there is much to marvel at and laugh about, although it is generally full of pain and horror. There are reports of quite strange illnesses, disturbing occurrences in the house next door in the suburban housing estate, abysmally miserable family stories and couple tragedies.
Gathered household robots devoutly watch a puppet show, a woman just wants to have her nose fixed and ends up with the wrong plastic surgeon, and retired couples go to war with each other at the fish buffet in the luxury resort in Maspalomas in the off-season.
Count Fauchi and the missing dentures
An ancient vampire without teeth? That sounds like a nightmare - and that's exactly what it is for Count Fauchi! Without his teeth, the ancient undead is completely lost, as he can no longer suck blood. Together with the intrepid werewolf Ylva, the Count embarks on an adventurous search for his tusks across Transylvania.
