Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When he died, Gordon was seven words into the twenty-fifth sentence of the final chapter of his latest book. What was the book's title?

Answer: And the Darkness Rained Upon Them

The three wrong answers came from the second book. "The All Night Horror Show" was one of Gordon's short stories based on something he had heard about Tanith Low, and "The Vanishing Night" was a novel based in a Shibbach. "The Grotesquery" is a Faceless One that has been brought to life in the second book.

2. Where does Stephanie first see Skulduggery Pleasant?

Answer: At Gordon's funeral

When she first sees Skulduggery, he is wearing a tan overcoat, with a scarf covering his face and a pair of "gigantic sunglasses". He was wearing a "wide-brimmed hat" under which his "wild and frizzy hair" could be seen. It's no wonder Stephanie was intrigued by him.

Answer: Carol and Crystal

When Stephanie describes them, she says: "[they are] fifteen years old, and as sour and vindictive as their parents. Whereas Stephanie was dark-haired, tall, slim and strong, they were bottle-blonde, stumpy and dressed in clothes that made them bulge in all the wrong places." Stephanie does not like her cousins.

4. At the reading of the will, Beryl and Fergus are sure that they will get the fortune and Gordon's estate. Who does get it?

Answer: Stephanie

The list is as follows:
Skulduggery gets advice
Fergus and Beryl get the car, the boat and the brooch. (Beryl is not happy. They already have a car and Fergus gets seasick easily.)
Stephanie's parents get the villa in France.
Stephanie gets the estate, the fortune, the royalties from the books, everything. Beryl and the twins were furious.

Answer: He smashes the window

Skulduggery breaks down the door to fight the weird person who came in. Stephanie refused lots of times to let him in, and the materialising came in book two. The stranger made himself fireproof so Skulduggery shot him in the shoulder.

6. When the stranger runs off, Stephanie makes a shocking discovery. What is it?

Answer: Skulduggery Pleasant is a skeleton

Well, he's a skeleton, has been for a very long time. Turns out that it isn't his own head he's wearing, it's one that he won in a poker game. His own head got stolen by "little goblin things". He was killed by Nefarian Serpine, one of Mevolent's Three Generals. The others were called Lord Vile and Baron Vengeous. Nice names.

7. Skulduggery tells us the exact date he died. When was it?

Answer: Twenty-third of October

To quote from the book, "So, I died. He killed me. The twenty-third of October, it was, when my heart stopped beating. Once I was dead, they stuck my body up on a pike and burned it for all to see. They used me as a warning - they used the bodies of all the leaders they killed as warnings - and, to my utter horror, it worked."

8. When Stephanie asks to go with Skulduggery, he says no. What part of his disguise does she take hostage to persuade him to let her come?

Answer: His hat

"Well, I don't plan on dying any time soon, and I've got something he didn't."
"And that is...?"
"Your hat, Take me with you or I'll stand on it."
Derek Landy is brilliant!

9. What type of car does Skulduggery drive?

Answer: A Bentley

He has a 1954 Bentley R-Type Continental, one of only 208 ever made, a car that housed a six-cylinder, 4.5-litre engine, and was retro-fitted with central locking, climate control, satellite navigation and a host of other modern conveniences.

10. What is the name of the lady who lives in the third floor of the apartment block?

Answer: China Sorrows

China Sorrows. Everyone falls in love with her, don't they?
