Together, Stephanie and Skulduggery start investigating her uncle’s untimely demise. As she finds out more about her uncle and the strange Skulduggery Pleasant, who turns out to be a skeleton detective, she realises that although the books her uncle used to write are most definitely horrifying, they are not fiction. Stephanie is intrigued by the mysterious friend of her uncle’s who appears with a scarf covering his face and gigantic sunglasses. The first book starts at the funeral of famous horror writer Gordon Edgley – twelve-year-old Stephanie’s eccentric uncle. The new Skulduggery book 14 Dead or Alive was released in April 2021 and an illustrated compendium The Skulduggery Pleasant Grimoire in May 2021.Īfter the first Skulduggery Pleasant series finished, in 2017 Derek Landy delighted fans by releasing the first book in a new series featuring the Skulduggery Pleasant characters – Resurrection.
