The Skulduggery Pleasant Grimoire acts as an illustrated companion and reference guide, diving deeper into the series' magic systems, characters, and mythology for devoted fans wanting to explore the world beyond the main novels. Until the End is a shorter, tightly plotted story delivering a concentrated dose of the series' tension and dark humor, ideal for readers wanting a quick but satisfying visit to this world. A Small Matter of Impending Catastrophe rounds out the set with another slice of high-stakes supernatural intrigue, true to the tone longtime readers expect.
