Malice has collaborated and ghostwritten books for celebrities. He co-wrote MMA champion Matt Hughes’ 2008 autobiography, Made in America: The Most Dominant Champion in UFC History. He co-wrote Concierge Confidential: The Gloves Come Off – and the Secrets Emerge! Tales from the Man Who Serves Millionaires, Moguls, and Madmen (2011) with Michael Fazio, a concierge to New York City’s rich and famous. Malice also co-wrote comedian D. L. Hughley’s 2012 book I Want You to Shut the F#ck Up: How the Audacity of Dopes Is Ruining America and his 2016 book Black Man, White House: An Oral History of the Obama Years. His own 2014 book, Dear Reader: Kim Jong Il’s Unauthorized Autobiography, was crowdfunded on Kickstarter and published through Amazon’s CreateSpace service.
It is written in Kim’s imagined first-person perspective and serves as a semi-satirical reflection on how he is depicted to the North Korean public. Much of it was based on English-language propaganda that Malice gathered during a week-long trip to Pyongyang, North Korea, in 2012. He previously described the journey in a Reason post from 2013. Rob York wrote a mostly positive review for NK News, calling Dear Reader “informative, and surprisingly earnest.” According to Malice’s 2019 book The New Right: A Journey to the Fringe of American Politics, the American New Right movement should not be associated with Nazis, and some members are acting out in response to liberalism. Kirkus Reviews questioned parts of his logic, stating that several of his interviewees “are disturbingly assured that Hitler, if not Jefferson Davis, had it right”.
Michael Malice and Andrea Tantaros
Malice sued former Fox News personality Andrea Tantaros in October 2016, claiming he was due $150,000 for penning her book Tied Up in Knots: How Getting What We Wanted Made Women Miserable. Tantaros’ lawyers argued that if Malice’s role in creating the book was disclosed, “it would severely undermine her credibility in the eyes of her colleagues, fans, publisher, and the wider news-media world.” Tantaros countersued Malice for defamation, alleging that he provided falsified material and conspired with Fox News to ruin her reputation. Malice’s claim was dismissed; he appealed and lost as well.
