Oh, and my publishers would like me to include the Amazon link so you can pre-order this wonderful, wonderful book. Now, normally I hate linking to ANYTHING that has to do with selling my own books... and this is no exception...
(oh, and I also have no idea how these words ended up in the middle of the page like this, but hey...)
This is the link:
Whether you use it or not is up to you.
PS
The colour for this one is shiny GOLD.

ReplyDeleteDerek, I am thinking the same thing as my big brother here: What are those monsters?
Oh, I LOVE it!!! I mean, all the covers have been great, but this is probably my favourite hardback cover yet, together with the hardback covers of the first and fourth books (I wasn't so enamoured with Death Bringer cover, somehow).
ReplyDeleteEverything just ... works.
*admires*
*admires the gorgeousness that is Skulduggery*
*admires the artwork in general*
*likes the tag line*

ReplyDeleteNoooooooo! This better be someone telling you to realease this masterpiece now!!!!!
...
ReplyDeleteAlright then, Derek.
How are you, just off tangent?
Oh, and Derek, just so you know, your profile doesn't mention Death Bringer. Just a heads up, or a FYI. Whatever it'd be called

I WANT THE BOOK NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteits gonna look SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pretty on my shelf!!
Tom, you could draw a piece of blank paper and make it look more awesome than famous artists could ever hope to.
ReplyDeleteDerek, you could write about two people talking about stock returns (I actually don't quite know what they are...) and make it so awesome that several people would die from too much awesome!!!!
oh dear lord that is awesome *dies from awesomness*
ReplyDeleteI suppose, Izz.
ReplyDelete*body starts convulsing*
DONE! i just finished pre-ordering the new book!
ReplyDelete*starts hypervetilating again*
yep, i agree with Izz, the creatures are the Wicked
ReplyDeleteARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I cant believe im still seeing it!!!!!!!!!
I dunno. I read somewhere it's about people who suddenly devolp powers of gods. OH!
ReplyDeleteIf a heap of people got it in the same area, then it would be a KINGDOM OF THE WICKED!!!!
No?
Oh and of course:
ReplyDelete*presses button to play applause*
*is slowly devouring fingers*
ReplyDeleteMY EYES!!!!!!! THEY HURT FROM AWESOMENESSMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't deny your logic, Nix
ReplyDeleteI've gone blind, the only light is this book!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, I read that SOMEWHERE......
ReplyDeleteI LOVE SP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTHEY'VE ALREADY POSTED THE COVER ON SKULPEDIA
ReplyDeleteTHAT WAS FAST
Magic is a disease.
ReplyDeleteAcross the land, normal people are suddenly developing wild and unstable powers. Infected by a rare strain of magic, they are unwittingly endangering their own lives and the lives of the people around them. Terrified and confused, their only hope lies with the Sanctuary. Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are needed now more than ever.
And then there's the small matter of Kitana. A normal teenage girl who, along with her normal teenage friends, becomes infected. Becomes powerful. Becomes corrupted. Wielding the magic of gods, they're set to tear the city apart unless someone stands up against them.
Looks like it's going to be another one of those days…
IF THEY'RE GETTING INFECTED, THAN THE LAND WOULD BECOME A KINGDOM OF THE WICKED!!!!!
just put the link on my Skype thingo
ReplyDeleteEPIC!!!!
ReplyDeleteARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ReplyDeleteI WANT THAT BOOK NOW!!!
ITS GONNA LOOK SOOOOOOOOOO PRETTY ON MY SHELF!!!!!!
Yeah i read that before...

ReplyDeleteI have another request for you now...
Will you please say hi to Amanda? Pleeeeeeease? Pretty please (although making the Please look more attractive doesn't help)? Or, even better, you could call her China Pleasant. She hates when people do that. But coming from YOU? That would be hilarious.
Oh, come on, Val. He didn't even say hi to ME.
ReplyDeleteNor ME!
ReplyDeleteWell maybe he'll say hi to Amanda!
ReplyDeleteBut... what about me? It isn't fair?
ReplyDeleteYeah.
ReplyDeleteThis was a good day though. A very very good day.

ReplyDeleteCan't you see? I wanna live. But you just take more than you giiiiive
I've had enough now I want my share
ReplyDeleteLa
ReplyDeleteI dedicate this page to Derek and Tom. Oh my god, Derek talked to me. AAAAAH!!!! And Tom gave us this wonderful cover!
ReplyDeleteMaybe he'll say hi to EVERYONE, particularly you guys
