Secret of the Basement: A Science Fiction Comedy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798853278943)

THE SECRET OF THE BASEMENT

It's known as the "secret of the basement", that juicy little mystery that has a once-sedate little village bustling with Jack Cravitz mystery parties. And just what is that zany inventor conjuring up in his cellar? Well, they don't call it a secret of nothing! Then one day, Jack stumbles upon a mystery all his own: a ghostly archway that suddenly appears on the brick wall of his basement lab.

Dying to find out where it leads, he dives on through only to find himself standing right back inside his very own basement! Or is he? Shocking as it seems, Jack has discovered a parallel dimension, where he is nabbed and replaced in his own world by his evil twin, a renowned brainwasher. Joining him from the evil world is Devilia Fudoolahoot, ex-wildcat girlfriend and high fashion model of "homicidal clothing". Together they conduct a bold experiment, using a sinister mind-altering device.

Evil Jack invites his "subjects" to the village hall to attend the unveiling of a new invention, and in they pour, hoping he will finally reveal the famous secret. Instead, he blasts them with a potent dose of evil. Moments later, they tear through the downtown, clawing down ornaments and beating the tar out of that revolting "Frosty the snow-jerk". Dark-Christmas festivities continue as they run amuck in ghoulish garb and tumble about in green slime wrestling matches.

Jack is thrilled with the chaos, but neither he nor Devilia foresee the clever resistance that is being plotted by a gritty group of villagers, bent on reviving their traditional Christmas. Neither do they begin to imagine the cascade of comical consequences that await those who meddle with another world.
