The Maleficent Seven


BOOM!

IN YOUR FACE!!

Ladies and gentlemen and Minions of dubious gender, I give you the cover- with text and without- to The Maleficent Seven.

Rejoice, puny humans, for the ArtGod Percival has delivered his most brain-smashing cover yet.


And the world is a happy place.

  1. OHHHHHH.

    That was indeed worth waiting for.

    I love it.

    And the title!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  2. Hmm. As a friend of mine just pointed out, Tanith seems to have lost her leather.

    ... I guess a girl needs a change, sometimes?

    ReplyDelete
  3. Well, I figured since Tanith has to go around recruiting seven members for her team, just like the Magnificent Seven had to do...

    And let's face it- aren't you astonished that nobody has yet used this title??

    ReplyDelete
  4. She's in a few different outfits in this book, but rest assured she always returns to brown leather...

    ReplyDelete
  5. OH MY GOLDEN GOD.
    THAT IS FREAKIN' AWESOME DEREK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  6. I am indeed astonished.

    *bows*

    Oh, but it's beautiful... So. Hmm. Only about 3.5 months to wait. And it's out right around my birthday. Woot!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I swear, with all the outfit changes she made, it was like I had my own very lethal Barbie...

    ReplyDelete
  8. Best cover ever. Can't wait to read it.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Miss Cain- exactly the reaction I was expecting..!

    Kribu- we planned that. Just for you. Honest.

    ReplyDelete
  10. My mum just yelled at me for making a seriously high pitched squealing sort of sound.


    I AM TOO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK, OMG. AKRDABKESHKFJ. *screams*

    ReplyDelete
  11. "Lethal Barbie."

    I don't think I'm going to be able to think of Tanith as anything else now. :-|

    ReplyDelete
  12. DarquesseCain- it is, isn't it? It's just GORGEOUS.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Luciana- tell your mother it is not your fault. I accept full responsibility.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I CAN'T SQUEAL CUZ IT'S 11:54PM AT NIGHT AND IF I SQUEAL MY PARENTS WILL HEAR ME AND THEN I'LL GET KICKED OFF THE COMPUTER.

    ReplyDelete
  15. And of course you planned it just for my birthday. I'm feeling... honoured.

    Yes. Honoured.

    (Now if there was Valduggery in it, I'd be even more honoured. But I digress.)

  17. Even I nearly squealed! Except that it was more like a squeak.

    I'm so glad I work at home. Because that would have got me some odd looks at the office.

    ReplyDelete
  18. NEW PHONE & LAPTOP BACKGROUND, RIGHT THERE

    I am too excited for march. March 28th, right?

    I SHALL START COUNTING DOWN XD

    ReplyDelete
  19. Rhian- she DOES look hot. See, this is where my attempt to put her in a bikini would have totally worked.

    Miss Cain- perfect the inner squeal. It's just as loud, but only your soul can hear it.

    Hiya Darquesse.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Derek.
    I'm spazzing instead of squealing.
    My face probably looks hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  21. And here is Kribu's one track mind at work again...!

    ("many-tracked mind"... pffft yeahhh)

    ReplyDelete
  22. I am the girl who went to see you three times last time in Kilkenny. I think it looked like I was stalking you!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. *laughs crazily* SHE IS NOW LAUGHING AT ME,. G)uimj\ va[wucrybqW_0ae


    BUT IT@E+RW(CEidnf0t8\ syerb\a


    Derek, your fault

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hey! My mind had a Tanith track right there.

    I mean, I actually lived for several moments without thinking about Valduggery.

    ReplyDelete
  25. she could so totally pull off a bikini. (no pun intended)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Rhian- I think that was my editor's problem...

    DarquesseCain- oh dear. It's you. Oh dear god.

    ReplyDelete
  28. It's almost tempting me to change my background too.

    Except that I can't bear the thought of parting with Skulduggery. On either my computer or phone.

    ReplyDelete
  29. SPEAKING OF SHIPS AND TANITH...

    I REALLY WANT SOME CHINDUGGERITH FANFICTION

    AND CHINITH

    AND VALITH

    and, I kind of don't want Steak to happen, but to be all tragic and she is dying then the Remnant leaves her in her last moments and she tells Ghastly she loves him and then we all sob for eternity.

    Yeah, that's what I want. *nods*

    ReplyDelete
  30. O:
    THIS IS EPIC.
    I love the name, you must tour and walk out to the Magnificent Seven music blaring behind.

    ReplyDelete
  31. DEREK THAT IS BEAUTIFUL I can't wait

    ReplyDelete
  32. I didn't try to attack you on the street Derek it just looked that way. I promise.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm in my college libary so I'll have to wait a while before I can let myself scream at the awesomeness

    ReplyDelete
  34. It's such a shame it's the weekend tomorrow...today.

    ReplyDelete
  36. You, Clover, are such a nice person ;P
    Omg, Sanguine is such an awesome character! *nods* If he ever dies, I'll go bury myself in a hole and never come out.
    Although, don't hold me to that.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Still though, the one Derek drew was a real contender :p

    ReplyDelete
  38. *laughs* I'M THE NICEST PERSON EVER, CLEARLY. GAWD, IENI. HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW THAT!?

    8yssdrfb\sce8cdrbtESA8[FY

    MOST OF THE 'WORDS' I AM SAYING OUT LOUD ARE MORE LIKE SQEUALS BECAUSE COVER AND NOTHING MAKES SENSE

    i think it's time my family accept that they need to read Skulduggery because it's perfect.

    Tom is reading it. My brother MIGHT finish reading them (he's on DD). My sister says she might read one over Christmas...! I SHALL MAKE THEM ALL OBSESSEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD C:

    ReplyDelete
  39. There, have done my duty as a Goodreads librarian and updated the book details...

    Still 3.5 months to go. Ack.

    ReplyDelete
  40. *tries to calm down*

    *fails completely*

    *sends email to friend RIGHT NOW WHICH IS MIDNIGHT XD*

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'd much rather have Derek's. Tom's was a bit of a let down after seeing that beauty >_>

    ReplyDelete
  42. Oh. My. Golden. God!
    THIS COVER IS AMAZING!!
    It's nearly as good as the one two posts below...! :D

    ReplyDelete
  43. I have parents evening in two hours I don't think i'll have recovered by then.

    IT'S SOOOO PRETTY

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'M GETTING MY FRIEND TO READ SP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    She told me today that she'll start them soon.

    ReplyDelete
  45. *IS HYPER AND THINKS THAT I WON'T GET ASLEEP VERY EASILY TONIGHT/THIS MORNING*

    ReplyDelete
  46. THE NOVELLA SHOULD BE RELEASED TWICE. ONE WITH DEREK'S COVER. THE OTHER WITH TOM'S.

    THEN WE CAN HAVE THE, BOTH LOOKING SEXY ALONG WITH THE OTHER BOOKS. C:

    ReplyDelete
  47. DEREK IT'S BEAUTIFUL I LOVE IT AND I'M GOING TO DIE IN AWE OF ITS AWESOMENESS

    ReplyDelete
  48. But look at it again, Kribu... doesn't it deserve a prominent place?

    Skulma'am! Good to see you! And that's not a bad idea...

    Scream, Zephyr. Let your freak flag fly.

    Luciana- Tanguine? Tanguine, you say? Oh there is Tanguine. Oh there is LOTS of Tanguine.

    ReplyDelete
  49. YES L.

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

    ReplyDelete
  50. So I may have actually squealed...quite loudly. Oh my goodness TANITH XD I can't wait for this now! And that cover is actually amazing, they get better and better each time. *jumps around excitedly*

    ReplyDelete
  51. Derek's cover was also made of pure awesome.

    But I have to admit Tom's almost as good. Plus, well, the title is a teeny bit more awesome on this one.

    ReplyDelete
  52. TANGUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    Oh my God, I'm hyper.

    ReplyDelete
  53. OK I SHALL SCREAM!

    oh dear. the librarian was not impressed

    ReplyDelete
  54. Have been staring at cover for the last five minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Derek, doesn't this come out in March? Around the end of the month?

    ReplyDelete
  57. Derek, does Scapegrace has magical abilities in his new body?
    And if yes are the abilities the same he had in his "old" body? And what were his abilities in the old one?

    ReplyDelete
  58. I don't think the librarian's too pleased I'm using the computer for this instead of work

    /someone/ clearly doesn't read despite being a librarian!!!

    ReplyDelete
  59. THIS IS AMAZING.
    IT'S GOING TO LOOK AMAZING ON MY SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Also, it's a pretty cover and would deserve a prominent place, but... Well. How should I put it.

    My current desktop has Skulduggery on it. And as hot as Tanith is, Skulduggery is... erm. Well. All... bony, and gorgeous, and... yeah. Sexy, in a word.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I just clicked on the cover so I could see it better and I literally started shaking in awe of it.


    The shouting will begin soon, have no doubt.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Oh. My. God. That is so cool!

    Lethal Barbie *laughs* I want that for Christmas

    ReplyDelete
  63. I'M ALREADY SHAKING!!!






    THIS IS SO FREAKIN AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I ship both Tanguine and Ghanith, because I feel so bad for Ghastly, although, I'd be happy if Ghastly died and then I could ship Tanguine happily :)
    BECAUSE SANGUINE IS SUCH AN IDIOT IT'S SO FUNNY AND HE'S AMAZING!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Yes, Derek, I want a lethal Barbie too.



    And that door you destroyed. I want to show it to my door, so that way it knows what happens next time it makes me ram my face into it.

    I am so glad I decided not to go to school today. I would have missed this joyous event.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I think there should be a special edition published with Derek's cover, I'd buy that! (:

    ReplyDelete
  71. WE NEED A FILM

    AND WE NEED TANITH BARBIE DOLLS, SO SHE CAN BE THE ONLY BAMF OF A BARBIE DOLL EVER (well, there is Katniss but...KATNISS AND TANITH WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD FIGHT TO WATCH BECAUSE TANITH WOULD RIP HER TO PIECES!)

    yeah, Tanith dolls. So they can be BAMFs.

    AND A FELT TANITH AND SKULLY AND CHINA AND VAL AND SANGUINE AND RENN AND BESPOKE AND RAVEL AND THE DEAD MEN AND EVERYONE AND EY7TRCBqp*wYE we need felt SP characters. I SHALL CONVINCE MY SISTER TO MAKE ME SOME FOR MY SEXY BOOKCASE

    ReplyDelete
  77. I would kill for SP posters. I may print this new cover out on A3/2 and stick it up!

    ReplyDelete
  78. I've been forced to make my own Skulduggery merchandise for myself... Like my blanket...

  79. Good girl Harriet!

    Valkyrie V. Cain- yep, this has an end-of-March release.

    Luciana- Valguine? You are WEIRD.

    Valice- yes he does. Magic comes from the person, not the body. As for what Scapegrace's magic IS... we might get to see it.

    Kribu- you make a good point. As usual.

    Persephone- Lethal Barbie. Violent Barbie. Tanith is all these things and more.

    Leni- do you not think that Tanguine sounds like an energy drink, though?

    ReplyDelete
  80. SP DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  81. SP MERCH WOULD BE THE MORE PERFECT THING EVER AND I WOULD BUY IT ALL

    IMAGINE, LIKE, MCDONALDS TOYS, TOO, THAT'RE SP. AND BOBBING SKUL-MAN TOYS. AND FELT CHARACTERS. AND DOLLS. AND POSTERS I COULD ACTUALLY GET. AND R\WA6C TWG5 XG7EA5XRTVWYWERSCY8Y'WE UTDFYVW'9EYFI

  98. I HAVE 2 SP POSTERS AND A GIANT SKULDUGGERY CARDBOARD CUT-OUT.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Omg, yes!
    I think it should be blue, or orange.
    And I think, it should possibly be poisonous in some way and should contain tea for Ghanith lovers...

    Excuse me, while I go kill my friend, over Facebook, because she still hasn't read KOTW. Ah, she just pointed out she's too young to die. I don't care, this is an unforgivable sin.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Val, I still say that boys have cooties. I'm the Queen of Immature

    ReplyDelete
  101. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    THE COVER IS AMAZING!!!!!!
    Plus, hi everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  102. So The Maleficent Seven will be the novella Derek has been working to release coming out in the near future.

    I read mention of the short stories from the newer publications of SP being rereleased in a new format. will they be included in the Maleficent Seven or is that another book entirely?

    ReplyDelete
  103. Other people's ships make mine look so normal. :D

    I've yet to work out how to get SP posters. I did manage to get one of those big round things that, I think, were hanging in some bookshops, with Skulduggery and fire and Happy Halloween! written on it, off eBay a while ago, and it's now gracing the wall above my computer.

    My mother thinks I'm slightly odd.

    She may have a point.

    ReplyDelete
  104. End of March!?!?!?!??!?!!



    BUT

    ReplyDelete
  106. Ghastly and Tanith is fine, I guess... Because both characters are good.


    BUT NOOOOOOOOOOO, A STUPID REMNANT HAD TO COME AND RUIN EVERYTHING, SO THEY COULDN'T BE TOGETHER, AND NOW GHASTLY IS STUCK WITH A BORING JOB WITHOUT TANITH BECAUSE SHE'S EVIL

    Me - It's a tree.......

    Friend - I wouldn't recommend holding a metal sword in the middle of a lightning storm...

    ReplyDelete
  121. Dragonheart - my Tanith-loving friend said the same thing about the sword and the lightning!

    Well. We can but see and hope the book won't end with fried Tanith.

    ReplyDelete
  122. I kind of wish Tanith was older because then, if there's a movie, Alex Kingston could play her...

    ReplyDelete
  131. Wayne- the plan is to release The Maleficent Seven (TMS) in hardback (and ebook) form only, and not follow it up a few months later with a paperback- because that'd only make some Minions want to be buy two versions of the same book... TMS will then be republished as part of the SP short story/novella collection which will be out in 2014.

    Hiya Dragonheart.

    Valice- the name Tanith Low was inspired by the author, Tanith Lee...

    Zephyr- I'm discussing Tanith posters as we speak...!

    Bye Cassidy!

  132. That actually cheered me up...

  139. *frowns* I just fell over... Again...


    Derek, I make a request that at some point Valkyrie runs face-first into a door, so that way Skulduggery can prove how terrible doors are. And because then I could shriek madly about how Valkyrie is clumsy like I am.

  141. I just realised something weird... Maybe not weird to YOU, but definitely weird to ME...

    Amanda is going to be fourteen when we go to Ireland and I'm still going to be thirteen. THAT'S NOT FAIR! IT'LL MAKE HER SEEM NOTICEABLY OLDER!

  142. Dragonheart, if that ends up being the actual storyline I will be in awe of you forever!

    And Derek, POSTERS?! You just cheered me up so much.

    I showed my friends a page of 'Dark Days'today and one of them said 'Well now we know where your sarcasm comes from' :D

  143. Valkyrie V- out of all the weirdness that is you, what you name your future pets is sincerely the LEAST of your problems...!

  146. I like showing people the pictures for the chapters, because whenever there's the S with Stephanie on it I shove it in their face and shout, "THAT'S MEEEEEEEEEE!" and they're stunned at how it actually looks like me.

    'Tis amazing.

  153. Jubilance, some people are just stubborn.

    I quite purposefully avoided telling any of my friends that they must/need to/really should read those books.

    Instead I just kept talking about them. Incessantly. And about how awesome they were. And I think after a while I managed to wear them down and now most of them are reading the books. :D
