Basil Karlo’s neighbor, Katie Park, was abducted days ago. Clayface has been desperately trying to find her and discover the secret behind the man who stole his name and life. But if he doesn’t hurry, a combo dose of LOSILMIX and Clayface DNA will either transform Katie into something else…or kill her like so many of the other victims of “Basil Karlo.”
Can the real Karlo, Sondra Fuller, and Dr. Victoria October save her in time, or will Katie become the final experiment in a lovesick man’s twisted game?
