El humor e ingenio de @dereklandy.bsky.social junto al dibujo claro y elegante de Carlos Magno conjugan una visión fresca y muy disfrutable del #DoctorExtraño. Edita @paninicomicsespana.bsky.social #HemerotecaCuantica cuanticagrafica.com/2026/01/21/d...

It just occurred to me to find out how to disable the Copilot function on Microsoft Word. Oh blessed be

What a great review of Doctor Strange #7...! Special mention, of course, to Dono on colours. He is just doing AMAZING work.

@dereklandy.bsky.social Testing Billy Ray makeup for MCM. Difficult to get that hollow eye look down but I think I got it (All practical, no editing. Lemme know what you think

#NCBD Quick Pick: If you haven't been reading @dereklandy.bsky.social and Ivan Fiorelli's Doctor Strange, then you owe it to yourself to pick up this issue. Just look at the gorgeous cover art by Alex Horley!!!

Interesting thing: even his analogy is wrong. Animating with AI is not like "having sex and then they hand you a baby" — it's like they hand you an adult that you had no hand in raising, no chance of influencing, no way to steering towards becoming a worthwhile human being. It's empty. Meaningless.

@2000ad.bsky.social Definitely Tharg’s favourite horror writer…

Very proud of Magdalen student Angus Barrett. And the poem is truly chilling... www.magd.ox.ac.uk/news/magdale...

A wonderful review of the new issue of Doctor Strange! This issue has it all, folk: Wanda, Clea, Angela, and the first appearance of our new villain... DOWNFALL.

Dublin readers! An event where I stand on stage and talk and answer questions! (And then sign whatever books you bring!) ilfdublin.com/whats-on/fes...

Oh, I like this immensely!

Behold! A Skulduggery nutcracker I was gifted on this tour! (Cat included in picture for size comparison)

You belong here @kylebrandtsky.bsky.social

Just out of a 4.5 hour signing at @waterstones.bsky.social in Bluewater. Thank you to EVERYONE who came (special thanks to those who dressed up!), and now I am SHATTERED and headed back to my hotel!

Okay folks, bad news… Due to train issues in Manchester Piccadilly that have been going on since yesterday, I won’t be able to make it to my Manchester signing this afternoon. Manchester signings are always HUGE and wonderful and we really didn’t want to have to postpone, but we have no choice.

'But on a one-to-one basis, if we can resist evolving into mobs, I think as a people we are fundamentally decent, and nice, and kind, and funny, and self-effacing and honourable.' Maith thú. @dereklandy.bsky.social 👏 www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

As you might have imagined, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is a dread-filled blood-rampage of ungodly delights. Would recommend.

Oh boy oh boy… here we go…

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

There are certain skills for certain types of story. I am good at what I do, but I have tried writing a Future Shock short story for @2000ad.bsky.social five or six times so far and NONE OF THEM have been good enough. So you just keep plugging away, because maybe the next one will be.

Woohoo! A Soul Full of Shadows is number one children's (ha!) book in the Irish charts! Thank you all for reading, and thanks to everyone who came to the signings! UK signings start on April 16th!

Love everything about this...

Woohoo! A great review for Doctor Strange #5!

A lovely reader (hi Rowan!) gave me this little Skulduggery at the signing today!

One five-hour signing later and I am DONE! Thanks to everyone who came, thanks to everyone who waited, thanks to everyone who shared their stories and laughed and cried and hugged. Now I need to rest.

After an almost 5 hour signing in Dundrum yesterday, join Laura and me in Eason today for the last Irish date!

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music Several dozen folks did Some even dubbed music over the original clip. I haven't been able to get this out of my head. So I give you A Bluesky exclusive: Reservoir Ducks 🐣 🪶

A lovely 2.5 hour signing at the legendary O’Mahony’s Bookshop in Limerick! Thanks to all who came out! Tomorrow: Dundrum!

Arrived in Limerick early, so now I’m walking the streets before the signing begins (at 3:30). Got my earbuds in and currently listening to the soundtrack for Ready or Not 2. Really makes walking so much more EXCITING when you have an orchestra in your ears the whole time…

And so my day begins with a radio interview and then onwards! To Limerick! To O’Mahony’s Bookshop for a signing!

It’s out!! Finally! A Soul Full of Shadows is ready to be consumed, to be absorbed, to merge with your inner self, to become a part of WHO YOU ARE… Verily, it is a great day.

In seven days, ASFOS is released. The final book in Phase 3, and the culmination of so many years of storytelling and character growth and development. I cannot WAIT for you to read it.

Just did an interview and was asked for a song to play out with. I was GOING to suggest Red Right Hand before deciding that, nope, I think Skulduggery's theme tune would be Big Bad Handsome Man by Imelda May, as seen in Kingdom of the Wicked. What would be your choice? youtu.be/d0VL6cX6XTI

Woohoo! Another great review!

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

IT’S THE LAW!!

A Soul Full of Shadows is only weeks away and I cannot WAIT for you to read it. I’m still not saying if this is the final Skulduggery or not- you’ll have to read it to find out. To help in that endeavor… www.waterstones.com/book/a-soul-...

Oh glory BE… The ASFOS T-shirts and hoodies are now available at the Skulduggery shop. Wear Cadaver Cain’s grinning visage with PRIDE! shop.skulduggerypleasant.co.uk/products/sou...

Oh boy oh boy, look what arrived…

Searching back for something in an old email led me to 2007, and my publisher's first (happy response) to reading the 1st draft of Skulduggery book 2. The initial title I had on that? Black Moon Fever. I still don't love "Playing With Fire" as a title but... YIKES.

Waterstones have a thing! Available exclusively on the Waterstones site and app, you, yes YOU, can get 25% off by entering FEB26 at checkout when you preorder ASFOS or the ASMOIC paperback! Offer runs until 23:59 20th February! AVAILABLE TO ALL CUSTOMERS! WHAT????

What a lovely review! Thank you!

TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT! Ireland and the UK! March and April! As far as I know, only the O'Mahony's and Forbidden Planet signings are un-ticketed affairs — so plan accordingly! www.waterstones.com/events/searc... ti.to/eason/eason-... forbiddenplanet.com/events/2026/...

An easy trap a writer can fall into is writing so much you don’t make time to read (no one wants to reach that Garth Marenghi stage being a writer that has written more books than he’s read) so I’m glad that my year has started off so well. What have YOU read so far this in 2026?

March is aright around the corner but if YOU reckon it’s taking too long, read an excerpt of A Soul Full of Shadows right here! issuu.com/childrensboo...

Very nice!

Okay folks- SHOW ME YOUR SHELVES! On these ones I’ve got books by @joerlansdale.bsky.social, Grady Hendrix, @joe-hill.bsky.social, @chuckwendig.bsky.social and @rachelharrison.bsky.social. People always ask about influences but, honestly, I am what I read. #skulduggeryshelfie

For those of you who like your signed book edges sprayed and exclusive, you can pre-order A Soul Full of Shadows from @waterstones and finally know TRUE HAPPINESS! www.waterstones.com/book/a-soul-...
