    I just KNOW Derek is reading the comments laughing hysterically at our fear

    Less than a month. Less than a bloody month.

  21. My tablet has an HD display. When Microsoft designed it, I don't think they considered just how grossly real those spiders look.

    Thanks Microsoft. I will spend the rest of my holiday thinking about an HD spider on Madame Mist's lower arm.

    ReplyDelete
  22. ...

    On the bright side, there's no spiders on the FRONT cover. :P

    At which point, I'd just like to say that I love the contrast between red and blue on the front versus the back.
    I think the colour scheme is generally the same or similar on front and back, usually. Or at least, for the copies of the books that I have. But I like that this one varies. It's effective. :)

  25. @AB Coates: Ha, my laptop also had HD display.

    But that spider in the top right is /beautiful/.

    Not that I'd like to come across it in the flesh.

    But still.

    RHYDIAN YAY HI. :)


    Most spiders terrify me. I can't kill them, but I don't like them, either.
    THere are a few that don't overly bother me, and these are definitely the former. But they're so perfect and Mister Percival how do you do that?

    They make me so uncomfortable but they're so damn beautiful.

  32. My security software just told it updated itself. That's boring. OK, sorry. I just can't believe that silly automated voice can ignore Tom Percival's back cover. It's a crime against humanity. And Spiderity. Is that a word? Oh well.

  33. Spiders are my enemy. I dislike spiders. Gtg. BYE!

  34. If we're talking about spiders, there aren't many that annoy me. In fact, I have a favourite. The Huntsman is great. <3

    ReplyDelete
  35. Where the heck is Madame Mist's face?

    I just hope that black spot where her face should be is just her face cover by her hood.

    But, as I always say, anything is possible (in the negative).

    No spiders for SP9 please. I just hate those HD Spiders.

    ReplyDelete
  36. When I first saw it I thought Madame Mist's face was abs... The lighting and not looking close enough were at fault there.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I thought the same thing, Hel! *Grins*

    ReplyDelete
  38. Oh, good. I thought I was being really weird.

    ReplyDelete
  55. *slaps Zaf really really really hard across the face* PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER

    HOLY SHIT DEREK WATCHED THE VIDEO

    ReplyDelete
  56. Hey guys I've been rereading all the books and remember in book 4 all the sensitibes where having a vision on darquess destroying the word. So Skulduggery and Valkerie when to see that woman sensitive who told them it should happen in about 4 years. Well working on the knowledge that Valkerie ages a year each book that vision should be coming true any time soon. So Valkeries parents might die. And Alice might die. And darquess is going to start her rein soon. Unless they have changed the future. So we have that to look forward to.

  58. *pulls Zaf back, and harshly whispers* Unless you want Namaah to slither into your mind right now and turn you into a mindless zombie, get yourself under control.

    ReplyDelete
  59. so no more unconscious characters. this is good.

    on another note, madame mist is just as spectacularly creepy as i thought she'd be. i tip my glasses to tom.

    ReplyDelete
  60. This is beautiful! It would look really cool as a poster, would love to have one. Dark, mysterious and beautiful all in one.. Perfection!

    ReplyDelete
  61. *quietly dances around a stage*

    ReplyDelete
  62. *nods and takes a deep breath and calms down* Sorry right i dont like demons.


    Malphas: And who is to say demons like you, the Zafira? I do not believe Namaah would 'slither' into her mind, the Adra, more like force herself.

  64. Eh, *does a twirl* more like a snake. She'll slither, and then strike. Usually, though most demons will show themselves, or at least appear with their vassals before switching bodies. You however were transparent.... How?

  67. Happy birthday Char, by the way! :3

    With that being said i got to go. So i now go.BYE!

  71. It is a great cover, that's for sure, but the more we get to know about LSODM, the more I think that 'Readers Gonna Cry' would have been a fitting title.... :o

    ReplyDelete
  75. *outstretches her hand, doing some kind of folk song with a fiddle that includes a lot of clapping* Somehow Malphas got into Javier when we weren't looking... Usually we see at least a shadow or the vassal themself- they can't travel far without a body...

    ReplyDelete
  76. Hi everyone! Cupcake?
    The cover is quite creepy...

    ReplyDelete
  77. *takes a cupcake, gives a skulcake* thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  78. Oh. That's a little concerning, isn't it?

    #ChaseForBook9

    ReplyDelete
  79. It is, but I assume that it is just Malphas' experimenting.

    *does a little twirl then a flip* And I don't know why I'm dancing

    Nah, just Hunter does.

    Ez: I am beyond stupid nicknames.
    Hunter: Then why do you think up stupid nicknames for me?
    Ez: SHUT UP.

    . . . Yeah. :P

    Ez can actually act normal, sooo. Hunter finds being normal pretty beyond him.

    And also - I JUST HAD A SKITTLES MILKSHAKE. :)

  99. What’s that smell?
    Is it fever?
    Spreading deeper? Butter-hot, red as the
    Flame-drips that bred the black
    Sin in the hearts of believers.

    You’ll find my crown on the head of a creature
    And my name on the lips of the dead
    I am speaking of dread and hunger
    Do you know hunger?
    Precisely.
    It needs to be fed.


    This song started playing because shuffle and now it's returned to my head all over again. :P

    (Plus, if you're like me, other people will say stuff and you'll disregard what they say and go back to agonising. Like when I took a survey to find a taken surname, and then scrapped the survey and just went with what I wanted (beacuse I'd decided by then). Hey, Eve did exactly the same thing as me, come to mention it. The point is, if you're anything like us (and my brother), you'll do what you think is best and won't trust what we say. So I couldn't help anyway.)

  108. @Taia: Them tying me up isn't actually unusual. :P

    Once we spent hours perfecting tying people up. First I was just being tied up, and then I had to try and get out. Of course, we tied up my sister as well, so I could have a go, and my brother a few times. By the end of it, our dressing-gown cords were considorably longer, and it was incredibly difficult to escape the tyings-up.

    (AND THAT IS WHEN THE TYING-UP STARTED.)

    And yes. THEY ARE AWESOME.
    Mushroom's had them before . . .

    STOP PANICKING.

    #ChaseForBookNine

    ReplyDelete
  116. @Aretha: I'm sure whatever you choose will be just fine.
    These two are saying your writing is amazing and lovely and I believe them because they're believable people. And when I have the time and mental capacity to take in words properly again I will absolutely go ahead and read them because these humans say you're an awesome writer.

    And, even if she's not hugely impresses, it doesn't have to matter, because words are very personal in that they relate to or effect different people differently. And you can always improve, otherwise what'd be the point in trying? *offers a hug*

    Whichever way, it'll be fine. :)

  123. SO THEN GIVE HER SOMETHING TO BLOG HER FROM THE WATER OR AT LEAST NARROW IT DOWB TO A FEW WORKS.

    PART OF BEING A WRITER IS CROTICIZING YOURSELF BUT RHE OTHER PART IS CELEBRATING WHAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN. IF YOU EXPLAIN THE SITUATION SHE CAN APPRECIATE IT

    YOU HAVE TO GIVE YOURSELF A CHANCE AS WELL, ARETHA

  127. I ENCOURAGED THE TYING UP THE FIRST TIME, WHEN WE WERE EXPERIMENTING, BECAUSE WE WERE AT MY GRANDMA'S AND I WAS BORED.

    THE OTHER TIMES, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. :P

    BUT THEY KNEW HOW TO DO IT, THEN, AND THEY KNEW HOW FUN IT WAS. *scowls*

    LISTEN TO ADRA, ARI!!!

    And don't worry. If you say you're wrting's rubbish, people are more likely to think of it as bad. :)

    If you're still worried, though, you can always look through it and tweak anything you feel isn't quite right, if you wanted to. ^^
    You'll be fine. *hugs* :)

  136. I've felt the air rise up in me
    Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
    I wander out where you can't see
    Inside my shell I wait and bleed
    I've felt the air rise up in me
    Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
    I wander out where you can't see
    Inside my shell I wait and bleed

    GOODBYE!

    I wipe it off on a tile
    The light is brighter this time
    Everything is 3D blasphemy
    My eyes are red and gold
    The hair is standing straight up
    This is not the way I picture me
    I can't control my shakes
    How the hell did I get here?
    Something about this, so very wrong
    I have to laugh out loud
    I wish I didn't like this
    Is it a dream or a memory?

    I've felt the air rise up in me
    Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
    I wander out where you can't see

    I've felt the air rise up in me
    Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
    I wander out where you can't see

    Get out of my head coz I don't need this
    Why didn't I see this!?
    Well I'm a victim
    Manchurian candidate!
    I - have - sinned - by - just
    Making my mind up and taking a breath away!

    I've felt the air rise up in me
    Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves

    You haven't learn a thing
    I haven't cahnged a thing
    My flesh was in my bones
    The pain was always free
    You haven't learnt a thing
    I haven't changed a thing
    My flesh was in my bones
    The pain was always free

  138. @Star: Wow. Yeah, okay, so maybe tying up is better. :P

    I have a friend whose brother attacks me on site. Every time I see him, I'm attacked with a different plastic weapon. Or just feet and fists.
    And I can't fight back because he's, like, half my age. :P


    @Adra: Lol, you should see mine. :P
    In the brain of Taia, everything = cannibal pun.
    My tumblr dash is made up almost entirely of cannibal jokes. It's worrying, in a sense. :P

  142. @Star: Oh, I did listen to Slipknot's 'Purity'(?) in the end. With the lyrics AND music, scary is an accurate statement. It's really quite awesome. :)

    I don't mind the lyrics - awesome lyrics are awesome.

    @Taia: You DID? *hugs* THANK YOU!!! :) :) :)
    And, thank you again for the awesomeness statment. :)

    Sorry I poofed right whne you were asking me questions. The wifi got switched off. My dad switches it off when he goes to bed, so one minute I'm happily chatting, and the next minute it's infomring me there's a problem with the wifi connection and I'm like FUCK IT ALL FUCK THIS WORLD FUCK EVERYTHING THAT YOU STAND FOR.

    It's the scariest song ever. D: I woke up this morning and was all scared. :P
    I get scared of stuff. Well, I did when I was little. I've been absoultgely terrified and not able to sleep because of being scared of being killed by nerve gas and Medusoid Mycelium (fictituous mushrooms from A Series Of Unfortunate Events.) My dad went and bought me horseradish sauce so I could stop worrying. *facepalm*

    And then I was just staring out the garden this morning thinking about how there could be someone buried under the gravel in our drive and I wouldn't know. *facepalm* It's sort of pathetic. :P

  150. @Star: I don't know any out-of-context cannibal jokes. D:
    It's all pun-y and Hannibal Lecter related. :P

    *hugs back* Thank YOU for telling me to listen. :)

    *nods* No worries - Mine used to do that as well, but he just forgot to it each night, eventually. :P

    Hm, I've always been prone to becoming terrified of things - I could never have my window open especially at night, in case someone, like, scaled the walls and climbed through. I only began to get over that when I realised the importance of AIR. :P Which is pretty stupid, really.

    But the Medusoid Mycelium and horseradish is probably the awesomest fear-related story I've heard. :P

  153. ... Though, come to think of it, most things that have randomly terrified me involve windows. :P

    I can watch horror films without too much trouble because I'm expecting it to be a certain type of scary, I guess.
    Or, like, where feels and/or humour obstruct much fear from getting through. Like in Hannibal, excepting episode ten which was terrifying, for me. :P

    Oh, but one time I did see a frequently-occurring dead-Hannibal-character driving a car. That was freaky.
    I was just sat there on the bus, and it was all trafficky so everything was just moving and stopping. And this one car just slowed as it passed me, and the driver just looked at me and all I saw was the face of this dead fictional character and I was like WOAH WTH NO.
    And then I realised that, actually it wasn't him, and didn't even look like him BUT IT WAS SO FREAKY.

  154. ACTUALLY, IT ISN'T A MULITPLE OF THREE. *facepalm*

    I though, yay, 29! 9 is a multiple of three! But 20 isn't, though. Oh wait, isn't 29 a multiple of 3? Yes!

    You see, all that thinking about the 20 and the 9 messed my brain up.

    27 is a multiple of 3.

    *facepalm*

    I'M NEARLY FIFTEEN AND HAVE BEEN IN THE TOP SET FOR MATHS EVER SINCE I FIRST GOT SETTED.

    YOU'D THINK I'D KNOW MY 3 TIMES TABLE.

    Poor you, Maraness! D: *hugs*

    Well, I hope yout school's cool. I liked my secondary much better. Still do. :)

    @Taia: It's not actually that stupid. It would be the most logical way to break into a house . . . *frowns* D:

    *remembers how the top part of my window that opens isn't big enough for anyone to climb into* Oh. I can still leave my window open at night then. :P

    @Maraness: YAAAAAAAAAAY FOR LETTERS! :) :) :)
    (if everyone knows his address, how come his house isn't totally invaded 24/7?)
