PROGRAMME SCHEDULE

Supported by the Arts Council of Ireland - Literature

4pm | The World of Skulduggery Pleasant Derek Landy in conversation with David O’Callaghan

November 20, 2021 4:00 pm
Cost: €5 per family
Until 5:15 pm
AGE 10+

After last year’s highly popular WonderFest event, we are delighted to have the Skulduggery dream team back!

Join Derek Landy in conversation with book guru David “Gracious” O’Callaghan for a live virtual event like no other. Plunge into the magically macabre world of Skulduggery Pleasant and discover the books, movies, and comics that have inspired Derek since childhood.

There will be lots of time for questions, giving you the chance to baffle Derek with questions about his own books (which happens to him with alarming regularity). 

 There will also be a special Build a Story slot – where Derek will conjure up a story from YOUR ideas. Send your suggested line for the opening of a cracking story and watch Derek’s creative juices simmer over! (You’ll be invited to send an opening line after you’ve booked for the event.) 

A live, interactive event, delivered online.

Speakers

Derek Landy

Derek Landy is the author of the Skulduggery Pleasant series and the Demon Road trilogy. Derek lives in Dublin and is awesome. Dead or Alive is the 14th Skulduggery book and Derek enjoys finding new ways to torture his characters (and his readers). He has some pets. That is all you need to know. Now nearing its series end, Skulduggery Pleasant first burst onto the publishing scene in 2007 like a skeletal fist punching through a wall of books (or something). With sales in excess of 6.5 million copies and translated into 36 languages worldwide, this series has led to the author’s mother saying “We’re all very proud of him.” Indeed, Barbara. Indeed. The Skulduggery Pleasant Grimoire is a must-have recap of the books so far, a reference guide to characters, and a treasure-trove of bonus content.
