Malice is a two-book young adult series that was written by British author Chris Wooding and illustrated by Dan Chernett.

[3] In the comments section on his website during 2012 Wooding later remarked that there was no progress on the film and the movie was considered to be "dead in the water".

When Luke succeeds in summoning Tall Jake, his friends Seth and Kady go looking for him.

When Kady finds out that Seth went to Malice, she decides to do some investigating and finds out that she has been to Malice herself and that her mom, a professional hypnotist, hypnotized her with fake memories of being in San Francisco.

[9] Publishers Weekly and School Librarian have both praised the series,[10] with Publishers Weekly praising the first book for its "interspersed sections where comic book panels replace textual narrative (as well as the three-dimensional cover)", which they felt made it "a memorable multimedia experience".
