Product Information

Every solution to every problem is simple. It’s the distance between the two wherein the mystery lies.” Before being caught, Vengeous was tasked with resurrecting a Faceless Ones using remains found in a long-forgotten tomb. Vengeous combined the remains with the limbs and organs of other creatures to form a hybrid called the Grotesquery. He was caught before he could finish it, and was missing two crucial ingredients: a Necromancer’s power to revive it, and another ingredient to keep the Grotesquery alive. When Lord Vile disappeared, presumed dead, Vengeous tried to find his armour, but could not.

Skulduggery is fine, and hello to you, too. I don't do many interviews, if I'm to be honest, but I am going to try my best to be humble. I have an associate who keeps telling me I'm egotistical, but she falls over a lot, so I don't really listen to her.Skulduggery and Stephanie drive to Gordon‘s house to find the entrance to these caves. These find that it requires a key to open, and as they leave, Serpine arrives with four Hollow Men. Serpine fires a beam of purple vapour from his right hand incapacitating Skulduggery and takes him.

Derek Landy revealed in an interview that he never cared or even thought about what Skulduggery looked like when he was alive. This is for the same reason he will never tell his readers if Skulduggery's child was a girl or boy. He said that Skulduggery is who he is and when people read about his past he wants them to only remember that 'his wife and child were murdered'. He said Skulduggery is whole and he wants his readers to only have certain, important details of Skulduggery's past; The rest, including his given name, is irrelevant. [3] [4] I woke up, a bag of bones. Literally. They had gathered up my bones and put them in a bag and thrown the bag into a river.” Skulduggery: Being a detective isn't all about torture and murder and monster. Sometimes it gets truly unpleasant.”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. 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.
