''Skulduggery Pleasant'' is a series of fantasy novels written by Irish author Derek Landy. The books revolve around the adventures of the skeleton detective, Skulduggery Pleasant, and a teenage girl, Stephanie Edgley (Valkyrie Cain), along with other friends. The central story arc concerns Valkyrie's struggle to stop evil forces threatening the world, finally find justice for her late uncle's death, and her internal struggle of keeping the darkness within her to stay within. Since the release of the first novel, ''Skulduggery Pleasant'', the series has been praised by both readers and critics. The second novel, ''Playing With Fire'', was released the following year, and the third, ''The Faceless Ones'', in 2009. On 1 April 2010 the fourth book ''Dark Days'' was released, followed by ''Mortal Coil'' on 1 September 2010. ''Death Bringer'', the sixth book, was released on 1 September the following year. A novella titled ''The End of the World'' was released on 26 February 2012, to coincide with World Book Day, and the seventh book in the series, titled ''Kingdom of the Wicked'', was released in Australia and New Zealand on 24 July 2012, and the UK on 30 August. Landy was initially contracted to write three books, with any further books depending on how well the first trilogy sold. The success of the first novels ensured that the deal was extended first to six books and in 2011, HarperCollins signed the deal for the final trilogy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HarperCollins extends Landy deal )〕 The unabridged audio versions of the books are available from Harper Collins Audio and the first four are read by Rupert Degas.
