About the Book Billed as a "paraquel" rather than a traditional sequel, this Grimoire sits alongside the main Skulduggery Pleasant novels rather than continuing the story directly.

It's an ideal way to relive favourite moments from the series or get properly acquainted with its sprawling cast before continuing the adventure. Comprehensive recap of the Skuldu
