Skulduggery Pleasant #1-5 by Derek Landy

Occasionally he talks to real people, but only when he absolutely has to.ĪNGRY NOTE: How could you end Faceless Ones like that, Derek?! With Skulduggery sucked into the Faceless Ones World?! You've got to be kidding me!? He is also far too modest to mention things like the first book being a Publisher’s Weekly Best Book of the Year, but would like to extend an invitation to Oprah to pop around one day for tea, in thanks for selecting his book for the Oprah’s Book Club Kids Reading List.ĭerek plays too many video games, reads too many comics, and watches too many movies. He doesn’t like to brag about all the awards he’s won, such as the Irish Book of the Decade, or the Red House in the UK, or all the other awards that he humbly displays on his mantelpiece. Landy himself was nominated for an IFTA for Best Script. In addition to the bestselling children's/YA series of Skulduggery Pleasant books, a supernatural mystery series starring Skulduggery Pleasant, a skeleton detective, and Valkyrie Cain, a young female magician, he has written two screenplays that have been made into films: the IFTA award winning 'Dead Bodies' and the IFTA nominated 'Boy Eats Girl'. The world’s weight is on her shoulders, and its fate is in her hands.ĭerek Landy is an Irish writer and screenwriter. There’s a gang of villains bent on destroying the Sanctuary, there are some very powerful people who want Valkyrie dead, and as if all that wasn’t enough it looks very likely that a sorcerer named Darquesse is going to kill the world and everyone on it. The problem is, even if she can get Skulduggery back, there might not be much left for him to return to. There is no official plan to save him.īut Valkyrie's never had much time for plans.

There is no official, Sanctuary-approved rescue mission. If his bones haven’t already been turned to dust, chances are he’s insane, driven out of his mind by the horror of the ancient gods. Skulduggery Pleasant is gone, sucked into a parallel dimension overrun by the Faceless Ones. Meet Skulduggery Pleasant: detective, sorcerer, warrior. Can he possibly survive? (Yes, all right, he's already dead. Skulduggery Pleasant is lost on the other side of a portal, with only some evil gods for company.
