Product description
Stephanie’s Uncle Gordon wrote horror fiction. But when he dies and Stephanie inherits his estate, she discovers that though his books may have been horror, they weren’t exactly fiction! Pursued by evil forces intent on recovering a mysterious key, Stephanie finds herself facing hordes of vampires, demons and baddies. As all hell breaks loose, can the wise-cracking skeleton of a dead magician save Stephanie’s skin? A mesmerising fusion of wit, weirdness and genuine scariness, this horror sensation introduces a truly unforgettable hero: skeletal sleuth Skulduggery Pleasant!

on 4 March 2012I read this book through school when I was in year 6, and was amazed at how much i enjoyed it. I thought it would be really boyish, but one of the main characters was a girl, and I was really impressed! Great book.

on 29 January 2009Skulduggery is a fast paced. Action-packed book. When Stephanie’s uncle dies, a mysterious stranger who Stephanie has never seen before appears at the funeral. No one seems to know why but this stranger is always around with a black hat, sunglasses, black scarf covering all his face and a black coat as if to hide his body. But when Stephanie’s uncle’s will leaves her his own house, Stephanie knows there is something wrong. People who love magic, mystery and fast flowing combat then you’ll love this book! Out of ten, I give it one hundred!!! :)
