Discover what happens between the books …
This collection includes every Skulduggery Pleasant short story ever written, including two awesome novellas – Get Thee Behind Me, Bubba Moon and The End of The World, written for World Book Day.
But that’s not all.
Written specially for this collection are three new short stories. Two of them delve into the things that fan-favourite, Billy-Ray Sanguine, gets up to between books, while the third pits Skulduggery and Valkyrie against a serial killer, a desperate ghost, and a swarm of very nasty insects.
So it’s business as usual, then.

This book is dedicated to my brand new nephew, Cameron.
Cameron, I’m sure you’ll grow taller as you get older, but right now you’re simply way too short. You also can’t talk or stand up, and I have yet to see you read a book. None of this is entirely your own fault, however – I blame the parents – so I hope my words don’t upset you too much.
The problem is, you’re surrounded by a formidable sister and some formidable cousins, so you’re going to have to grow up to be an exceptional person. I’ll do what I can to help, but the rest is up to you.
