Skulduggery Pleasant is an ongoing book series created by Derek Landy, set in Ireland and following the story of a young girl who meets the titular skeleton detective. The novels are centred around the magical goings-on and the efforts to keep the world from being destroyed by the big bad of the book.

Series

There are currently 15 books in the split into two series.. There are also multiple short stories and novellas, most of which were included in the book Armageddon Outta Here. Series 1 starts with "Skulduggery Pleasant", Series 2 starts with "Resurrection".

Fandom

The fandom mentality (popular opinions/ volume of posts) towards the series and the author varies depending on the social media platform. Twitter has more positive responses to Derek Landy's tweets, while Tumblr is more critical. A common trend is to not use Derek Landy's name, but instead use a mispronunciation similar to the way Benedict Cumberbatch became "Bandersnatch Cumberbund", for example.
