About Skulduggery Pleasant: A Small Matter of Impending Catastrophe by Derek Landy

In 1962, three sorcerers converged to do battle in a hidden chamber near a disused platform in the London Underground. Prophecy foretold that the victor would hold the very fate of humanity in their hands. Since then… nothing.

Now, the people who are trying to find out exactly what happened all those years ago are being murdered – there is a killer coming after them, a killer with a plan – and their only hope for survival lies with Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain.

Because when the end of the world comes knocking, our first line of defence must always be sarcasm.

Unstoppable, withering sarcasm.

About the Author:

Derek Landy is the darkly delightful brain behind the Skulduggery Pleasant series—a rollercoaster of magic, mayhem, and seriously cool skeleton detectives. Hailing from Ireland, Derek started out writing screenplays (with ninjas, naturally), but when he dreamed up a wise-cracking, fire-throwing, sharply dressed skeleton named Skulduggery... well, let’s just say the literary world exploded in the best way possible.

With razor-sharp dialogue, epic battles, and enough sarcasm to fill a haunted library, Derek’s books are beloved by fans who like their fantasy with a side of chaos and a LOT of clever twists. His stories balance heart-pounding action with hilarious banter and characters so cool, they practically leap off the page wearing sunglasses.

But don’t let the undead detective fool you—Derek’s also a softie at heart, known for writing complex friendships, emotional moments, and characters who stick with you long after the final chapter (even if they’re technically not alive).

If you love magic, monsters, and heroes with bite, Derek Landy is your guy. Just don’t challenge him to a duel. He has a skeleton army.
