When Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain drive into Termoncara, they discover a town with a dark past and a people haunted by their own secrets. There is a creature stalking the streets – a creature who delights in cruelty, who feeds off the little hatreds, who grows stronger with every drop of blood spilled.
Horror and mystery collide in an original graphic novel by Derek Landy, P. J. Holden, Matt Soffe, Rob Jones and Pye Parr.
Derek Landy’s book ‘Until the End’ was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 11-04-2022.

I am such a BIG fan of the Derek Landy series Skulduggery Pleasant and have been so excited to see the world brought to life in comic form.
???? The storyline of Bad Magic is such a fun adventure with some truly creepy monsters, wrapped in the usual humour I have come to expect from the duo.
???? Put simply this graphic novel is fantastic. Derek blends horror and fantasy perfectly, and this would be a PERFECT spooky season read. P.J. Holden, Matt Soffe, and Pye Parr. captured the titular Skulduggery and Valkyrie so incredibly well, and I can’t explain how much I loved Rob Jones’ lettering.
???? For those of you who don’t know, Skulduggery Pleasant is a 15-book fantasy/horror series that follows a talking (and rather dapper) skeleton detective named Skullduggery, and Valkyrie Cain, his friend and partner. Bad Magic is set after book 15 but COULD be read as a standalone, offering a great starting point to the Skulduggery world.
