I should have announced this yesterday, to be honest, but I was in Swindon, in England, doing writerly things like chatting to 600 people, signing all their books, and then travelling on to the WH Smith head office and signing 500 copies of LSODM, so you'll forgive me if I was a tad... distracted.
But, without further ado, to those who have not yet heard, the title of the short story collection out next summer is...
Armageddon-Outta-Here.
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!
I swear to god, I never thought Harper Collins would agree to this. My first instinct was to call it Tales of the Dead Men, but that wouldn't have been accurate because there'd probably only be one or two stories featuring the Dead Men — not enough to warrant a title.
Harper came back with The World of Skulduggery Pleasant, which is, let's face it, a title far too boring to exist.
I suggested Armageddon-Outta-Here as a joke, expecting everyone to dismiss it. But the more I thought about it, the more I said it in my head, the more I loved it. And suddenly I became determined to be the writer who has a book with THAT title.
Amusingly, Harper Collins agreed. And I couldn't be happier.
And if that wasn't awesome enough, we should actually have a cover reveal early next month for you to gawp at. Could I BE any nicer to you?
No. The answer is no.

666 comments omgg.
I'm on my iPod so I cant
I am not beautiful, nor am I intelligent. I am young and lazy, and do not have a job. I lie and I cheat and I look for loopholes. I am not, nor have I ever been in love, and no man would look twice at me. I am not very witty, and not very clever. I am not very popular, and I have few friends. I eat too much, I sleep too much, I put things off till the last possible moment. My writing is, pardon my French, bullshit. I am shy, I am lonely, I am forgetful, I am OCD. I am very, very tired, yet my life has just begun.
I am, in short, a magnificent ruin.
Yet, despite this, I know that God loves me, as he loves all his creations. And, somehow, I remain madly in love with everything about myself, as pathetic as I may be.
I am not a total failure. In my heart, I am as badass as Robert Downey Jr.
And now, I would like some tea and a book by Lemony Snicket, a name which here means 'Badassery Incarnate.'
SLUTDUGGERY :omg lieek Nevveyar I luurrve you

My brain is a wild, wild place.
_____________________________
Now back to everything normal.
*walks to the waterfall*
Weee
Just trying to be a good person. No,seriously,I care about people(I sound suuper stupid and cclicheand cheesy). In my old school forever ago,I left notes in lockers. I care about everyone because imagine if you guys were like my friend or family member,etc.
-runs across the ground, latching onto the treehouse where Ravel and Zaf are, climbing up into the tree section, out of their vision-
*reads book near waterfall*
This waterfall is my tears.
My comment was so relevant to LSODM
My comment was so relevant to LSODM
I'm sad again.
Nev, if we're gonna take you seriously, can you stop being a Derek-Pansy? ;-;
Shan't.
Says the guy who was Miley Cyrus
I DEDICATE THIS TO DEREK PANSY AND SNOW AND AIDEN AND ZAFIRA ANSLD SAPPHIRE AND TO BOOK NINE AND ARMAGEDDON OUTTA HERE
*looks at both of them*
You just pretended to be Miley Cyrus.
You just got here.
Maybe you should both get some perspective and take yourself seriously.
OOOOH OOH SNAP BUURN
Part of what was to you...
What Sparks said
Yes but I stopped being Miley Cyrus.
-leaps from the treehouse and onto the forest trees, jumping and swinging until I reach the waterfall-
[hugs Adra back]
[Is feeling sort of...tired, like I just channeled a lot of emotions and now I don't want to bother with anything. I might just disappear...]
There are cookies on the counter. Burnt at the edges, raw in the middle and so...tasteless. My brain is trying to make some sort of analogy about them.
