Today at 12pm SLT we will be joined by dark fantasy superstar Derek Landy for a very special investigation into the world of Skulduggery Pleasant.

Derek will be talking about his creative process, the books he loved as a kid, plus he will reveal why a wax museum version of Thin Lizzy bandleader Phil Lynott is a recurring character in the series.

15 books, plus spin-offs, impending movie, comics, fanart, sales in excess of 6 million copies and the series translated into 39 languages worldwide: this author and his mage alter ego might be the biggest guest we ever lured into the virtual realm …

Can we hold him and get some ransom from Harper Collins? We work for Linden Dollars after all ….

Oh almost forgot: we have a special place for Skulduggery on island #3. The castle is open now.
