The #1 international bestselling
series and Irish Book of the Decade draws to its heart-stopping conclusion in a
year of ground breaking events and innovative marketing that marks 2014 out as
The Year of the Requiem.
Skulduggery
Pleasant by Derek Landy burst onto the
publishing scene in 2007 with a colossal splash and a new children’s fiction
superstar was born. The last three books have been number-one bestsellers in
the UK, Ireland , Australia and New Zealand, global sales are in excess of 5
million copies and Skulduggery Pleasant can now be read in 36 languages.
The awards heaped upon the epic
adventure series include Irish Book of the Decade and the Red House
Book Award. It also featured on Oprah’s Book Club. Derek Landy has
become a ‘golden god’ to his 75k facebook fans, a fandom unparalleled for its
feverish devotion. Many of these fans have grown up with Skulduggery, they
generate vast amounts of Skulduggery inspired fan art and creative writing and
happily queue for as much as six hours on Derek’s book signing tours. They are
a unique and dedicated community, often striking up friendships through their
shared passion for Skulduggery.
Skulduggery Pleasant: The Dying of the
Light will be released in New Zealand on 1 September. It is the
explosive and extraordinary conclusion to the series.
