'Castle Drac Von Stoller' & 'Death in the Wilderness' by Drac Von Stoller

But this author didn't win a 'palm award' for nothing. We learn: Ben's got COVID Gretchen gets lazy and Glen finally guesses the punchline to one of her jokes Glen's got no car, and no teeth Glen REFUSES to homestead his place.
