Skulduggery Pleasant Discord Server!
Hey all. 👋
I thought I'd make a quick blog to inform anyone interested that we have a Skulduggery Pleasant Discord server! This is a place to chat about the books, ask and answer trivia, and roleplay, to name a few activities. There is also a channel dedicated to the wiki, a great place to discuss and organise with other editors. Guides are also regularly posted, showing off many of the wiki's more obscure features and helping users in areas where they might be struggling to understand a certain topic. Of course, it isn't exclusively about the wiki, and all the aforementioned activities may be of more interest to you.
The invite link is the following:

Hope to see you there.
Seasons of War Released!
The day has finally come! Seasons of War has been released!
...well, that day was two days ago, but I've been busy reading and rereading it! (No I haven't.)
There isn't much else to say on the matter, other than voicing my hope that more editors will arrive in the coming days and help out with updating the pages. There will be an increment in the workload so all help is welcomed.
Stay safe and enjoy Seasons of War! UnpleasantIE (talk) 19:12, April 4, 2020 (UTC)

Some facts about skullduggery pleasant
Skulduggery pleasant
The main characters care called Valkrie Cain who eventually turns out to be the most powerful sorcerer that has ever lived, because when she is going through the surge (when your you pick what magic you can do for your life and you cant change) it picked a new type of magic no one had ever seen before. After some research had been done about it they guessed that it was the closest thing to pure magic and that it was also the most powerful magic they had ever seen! Being able to make light come out of her hands at a horrible heat that burns a human to death in a matter of seconds. And the other main is called skulduggery pleasant who got killed back in 1700 but got resurrected and turned into a villain called lord vile w…

SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT back stabers
Skulduggery pleasant is a Humor magic and adventure.
But he is a living skeleton who has a bad past and as soon as he finds out who killed his wife and kid he will not be the good guy.
as soon as he starts to trust china sorrow he finds out she is the one who killed his wife and kid.
the reason is she was jealous of his wife no one knows why but he finds a new love his partner Valkyrie cain.
can he forgive her or kill her? read the book to find out next.
Skullduggery Pleasant: The Movie
This blog post is basically just a page where we write down our ideas for actors and themes of the movie. I’m gonna start off by saying they should cast Whitney Avalon as China Sorrows, if she can grow out her hair, dye it black and wear some contacts.
Impressed.
I am impressed with Derek's work. I think Skulduggery Pleasant should appear more as the title of all Derek's books start with Skulduggery Pleasant and have a reasonabling large image of him.
Um. Hi...
Ummm, how do these things start? Eh, this will do.
Hello, fellow fan's of the Skulduggery Pleseant series. I have just started reading the series two weeks ago, and have enjoyed all of the book's up to, 'The Dying Of Light'. ( Havent read much into 'Resserection' ). The books are BRILLIANT, and I LOVE them! Im usually quite shy, and my mum suggested joining something, so... This has information and I get to suposedly meet new people who share my love for books so, win win I guess. So yeah. Hello. Nice to meet you, whoever you are, I look forward to spending time with you... Make sure to read Derek Landy's new book, 'Bedlam'.
Bye.
My skulduggery/never theory
in the S-P books skulduggery's child is always referred to as child or they, never he/she. What if the child was genderfluid... there is only 1 known genderfluid character in sp, Never. what if they were actually trapped in time, and their reflection was killed instead, then they were later let out of the time loop-thing and adopted.
I think this explains a fair few things.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Resurrection
I feel like I'm the only one who didn't like this book.
I found the plot surprisingly hard to follow (given that it was very linear) and way to ridiculous, even for Skulduggery standards. I think the latter may have to do with the juxtaposition of the serious and too extensive world-building and the resurrection of Skulduggery's evil ex-girfriend (no explanation needed there).
I do ship Valkyrie and Militsa though. That'd be kinda cute.
What did you guys think? Am I alone in this view?
Skulduggery Pleasant: Resurrection
The day has come! We have a title, as well as a cover, for the new Skulduggery Pleasant book! SPX finally has a name!
It's...
The new tagline for the tenth book is "You Can't Keep A Dead Man Down".
What do you think of the new book?! What about the tagline? Give us your thoughts below!
Is Derek Landy dating a fan? Pls answer
Hey there, I'm a fan from Germany (so sorry for my bad english) and I heard rumors about Derek dating one of his fan and that many minions got very upset about it, and my question is: Is it true?
I don't care if he's dating a fan, I would probaly do the same thing if I'd like the person. But why do some fans feel uncomfortable about this? Is she (or him, I don't know) a minor or something, or are some people just overreacting or even being jealous?
Would be great if you answer 'cause I'm serously irritated by the reactions (and a lil' bit curious whatever it's true or not).
Derek's new series - Demon Road!
This is quite late, but Derek's new series has been announced! It's none other than Demon Road (as you have guessed from the articles already created on here)! :D
If you're super excited, you can read a preview of the first book, Demon Road, right here. Credit goes where credit is due - I had no part in getting the images or the transcript.
On top of that, the cover has been released! In fact a second version has been made, with some minor alterations. Here is the cover:
I'm pretty excited myself, despite at first not being that pumped. Are you guys excited? What do you think of the cover? Predictions on the series? Discuss anything about Demon Road here, or check out the Demon Road subforum on the Skulduggery Forums here!

Skulpedia maintenance - what you can do to help!
Hello everyone!
I am terribly sorry for be inactive as of late. Things have happened in real life lately, but I have to admit I have been coming here less due to other internet-commitments and forgetfulness.
I think the first and most imporant thing I need to do is thank Marino312. Without him, this place would look more messy and nothing would have happened. Thank you, Marino. :)
Now, onto the stuff. Book nine is coming out in two months from today. Ideally, everything concerning the previous books is updated and there's nothing to do but wait until there's new content. That's never going to happen, but we can try and get as close as possible.
The first thing to do, is to fill in information on all articles that need more information. I've ne…

Who knows what this is. Apparently you can't sign up if you're from America, so that sucks for the American fans.
I don't know what this is though, or how we're going to integrate it on the forums. Maybe it's like an SP Pottermore thing?

The Dying of the Light Cover Revealed
Isn't it exciting? (As an aside, our list of book above is finally complete!) Soon, we will have to create - as always - a discussion for spoiler, theories etc, when they start appearing. For now at least don't have to worry about that; we can look forward to Armageddon-Outta-Here in two weeks!
Apart from the paperback of this book and the (possible) paperback of Armageddon-Outta-Here, I don't think we'll be getting much art for our encyclopedia anymore. Unless the film is released....

Hello!
I'm new.
I love the Skulduggery Pleasant books! I love them so much... :)
But, here in germany, i have 1-7. And the Tanith Low book. I don't have the 8 book. Thats very sad. (My english is sad to! ;) )
My favourite charakter is Skulduggery, of course! He is funny and....cool! German: Ich kann mich voll mit ihm identivizieren! (Wie auch immer das geschrieben wird.) ((You know wat i mean))
Bye!

What will happen in book 9???????????????? Last stand of the dead men **SPOILERS** are ALLOWED
OK so my theory is that the reflection will become Stephanie meaning that the piece of non-magical mind she had left was the only thing keeping out Darquesse so now she will become Darqueese for she has no piece of mortalism in her. Valkyrie then has become crazed with magic creating the monster, Darquesse. The reflection now teams up with Skulduggery in a attempt to find Valkyrie. The reflection however is reluctant because when Valkyrie has been rid of Darquesse she will possibly become Stephanie leaving her magic behind. So in the end the reflection either morphs in with Valkyrie/Darquesse or they kill the reflection and Valkyrie marries Skulduggery ( maybe not that end bit ;) ) Anyway comment if you agree or comment YOUR thoughts. …
