‘Pretty Evil’ – Rebekah McKendry, David Ian McKendry & Tim Seeley Announce Graphic Novel Series

Officially announced this week, Sarah McCabe at McElderry has acquired World English rights to the first two books in Rebekah McKendry and David Ian McKendry‘s young adult graphic novel series Pretty Evil, which is set to be illustrated by Tim Seely (Hack/Slash).

In this saucy, adventure-filled romp, Mallori is the ultimate teen star with a platinum-selling singing career and an unsurpassed online following.

But when her mom goes missing, Mallori quickly discovers that she was living a double life as both Mallori’s manager and a demon slayer—and the only way Mallori can save her is to take up where her mom left off, slicing her way through demons in the most sparkly way possible.

Here’s the longer plot synopsis for Pretty Evil

“To her fans Mallori Martin is simply known as Mallori, with a cute little heart over the “i.” Mallori is the ultimate teen star with the hottest show on tv, a platinum selling singing career, and an unsurpassed online following. Her devoted fans are known around the world as The Mal-rines, their uniform consisting of the pastel rainbow sequin-covered outfits. Mallori’s name and face are everywhere: atop billboards, adorning the sides of busses, and she’s even the face of GLITZ energy drink with her picture on every can and vending machine. But behind the pink glitter and glam, Mallori is an unhappy teenager who just wants to be her own person and free from her mom/manager’s control.

“Mallori, wakes one morning to discover her mother is missing. She calls the police but instead of finding her mom, they find several bodies buried in the basement of their Hollywood Hills mansion. As rumors fly about her mom being a serial killer who skipped town, legions of fans turn on Mallori (dubbing her #MalloriMurder). She sets out to escape the public eye, hoping to find her mom and get some answers. She quickly discovers her mom was living a double life as her manager and a demon slayer.

“In an instant a world is revealed to her, a world where demons use fame, fear, and hate to attract Worshippers, a world where the most devout followers make human sacrifices in the names of these demons in exchange for great powers. Mallori realizes the only way she’ll see her mother again is to take up where her mom left off, slicing her way through demons in the most sparkly way possible.”

Publication is planned for Fall 2024. Stay tuned for more.
