I just realized that Skulduggery’s name can be shortened to Doug.

Quote from the first book :)

11.2.2017 edit: SPX is now officially titled “Resurrection” and it comes out on June 1st 2017! (Preorder here)

it features Skulduggery along with Valkyrie and their new teen companion Omen Darkly

the book is set a few months after Val returns to Ireland and she’s still trying to adjust

Omen Darkly’s gender is male

(q: how long will the series be?) a: “All that is still to be announced- but unlike the 1st series, this has been INTRICATELY plotted out.

Dexter Vex and Saracen Rue will appear (not all surviving character will appear though)

expect Valduggery… but we don’t know in what way (x) + in this tweet Derek says maybe to romantic Valduggery in the new books

Val will be 24 in the first book

more information (like how many books will there be) will be divulged over the coming months

China Sorrows will be featured (x)

Xena will be around

Tanith won’t be in every book, as she’s off fighting to redeem herself for the things she did as a Remnant

we might learn new things about Hopeless

Skulduggery will be as sarcastic and witty as ever

Six year old Alice will appear (Derek won’t say how much she will be around though)

The asker of the question about Alice also asked about the appearance of certain idiot zombies in the same tweet but Derek didn’t answer it (x)

Tom Percival will return as the cover artist… and he says the cover is looking amazing

Tom Percival is also working on new covers for the first 9 books (x)

some unanswered questions like Rue’s powers will be answered in the new series… maybe (x)

genderqueer or trans character(s) will appear (x)

Skulduggery Pleasant is my series. Sure, the writing’s not the best for the first few books, and there are things that I thought needed more tying up or development, but it’s my series. Like, this series got me through some hella rough times, and I had read it over ten times within two years because that was MY series, a second home and an escape. Book nine came out right around the time I moved out of the nightmare land. I literally cried during the last hundred pages due to all the character deaths, and then I cried again because it was over. My series was over. It was dead. I went through the whole five goddamn stages of grief over that series. But the ending sort of punted me into a whole new world, somehow… I don’t use the move as the marking point in my ascension out of hell. I use the ending of Skulduggery Pleasant because it so profoundly impacted me.
