Be careful what you ask for.
You can find my review (pam) here, but to give you an idea in brief of what MALICE is about: It's about a comic book by the name of Malice which is the gateway in a world of the same name.
One gets to this world by getting a copy of the comic book, and then performing a small ceremoney which includes the words, "Big Jake" and "take me away". Kids do it thinking that it's all scary-fun, but in truth it works! And Big Jake doesn't take you away the way Calgone does. No, he takes you to a horrid world where your life expectancy is quite short.

Part
graphic novel, part novel, MALICE lets us follow the adventures of Seth
and Kady and their unfortunate friends. You can count on tension and
violence and not all the characters surviving.
