What a good, middle grade horror book. I can even see this appealing to high school boys with its mix of text and graphic novel.

Gather the objects, say the words and Tall Jake will take you to "Malice", the underground comic where kids are swept in and few manage to escape. When Seth and Kady are pulled into this comic world in search of their friend, they meet Justin and the group makes it their mission to destroy Tall Jake whose influence is seeping out into the real world. Book #1 ends with Kady still in Malice and Seth back in the real world, searching for an artifact to bring back. Book #2 is "Havoc" which takes up where #1 left off, introducing a few new characters, but wrapping the story up. Not quite as compelling as #1, but action-packed and resolves neatly.
