Luke wants to show his friend Heather something secret, something that only a few children know about – a copy of Malice. This is an infamous comic most people think is just an urban myth.

Luke wants to prove that he’s not scared. He’ll call Tall Jake and ask to be taken into Malice because it’s only a silly story. Nothing’s going to really happen… is it?

Seth and Kady assume it’s just a rumour but when their friend disappears without a trace they are forced deep into the world of Malice, a world of terrifying clockwork monsters, ancient grudges and deathly landscapes, all ruled over by the sinister Tall Jake; the compere of the voyeuristic comic and the key to unlocking its mysteries.
