Bookroo's summary
Marco, a fan of The Ooze, discovers a rare comic book edition at Chiller House. But he's not the only one interested. A menacing figure, resembling The Ooze, leaves oily trails and shadows Marco's every move. Is it just a costume, or something more sinister? As Marco delves deeper, he must unravel the mystery before he becomes the next victim of this comic book nightmare.

Take a little Horror home with you!Marco is a diehard fan of The Ooze, a comic book villain with the power to sludge his enemies. So when he finds a super-rare edition at the Chiller House gift shop, Marco is sure he has found something special for his collection. Outside of HorrorLand there are a few other people interested in the comic book. The kinds of people you don’t want to mess around with. Like a muscular monster of a man dressed as The Ooze. But if he’s only wearing a costume, why does he leave an oily mess everywhere he goes? And why is he following Marco?
