Skulduggery Pleasant #16.5
The Haunted House on Hollow Hill
On a dark and stormy night …
A pair of ghost-hunting journalists arrive at the most haunted house in Britain – the Hollow Hotel. They’re here to interview the Dark King of television magic, Romeo Gideon.
Instead, they discover the body of a murdered man hanging from the rafters – the work of a killer who wields actual magic as viciously as he does his blade. With the storm closing in, all exit routes cut off, and the killer taking them out one by one, their only hope lies with the two mysterious Irish detectives who seem quite at home with all this bloodshed …
Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain have only hours to figure out who the killer is in a hotel filled with the tortured spirits of the dead, the anguished wails of the dying, and the relentless whines of the living.

About the author
Derek Landy
253 books5,283 followersDerek Landy is an Irish writer and screenwriter. In addition to the bestselling children's/YA series of Skulduggery Pleasant books, a supernatural mystery series starring Skulduggery Pleasant, a skeleton detective, and Valkyrie Cain, a young female magician, he has written two screenplays that have been made into films: the IFTA award winning "Dead Bodies" and the IFTA nominated "Boy Eats Girl". Landy himself was nominated for an IFTA for Best Script.
He doesn’t like to brag about all the awards he’s won, such as the Irish Book of the Decade, or the Red House in the UK, or all the other awards that he humbly displays on his mantelpiece. He is also far too modest to mention things like the first book being a Publisher’s Weekly Best Book of the Year, but would like to extend an invitation to Oprah to pop around one day for tea, in thanks for selecting his book for the Oprah’s Book Club Kids Reading List.
Derek plays too many video games, reads too many comics, and watches too many movies. He lives in Ireland with too many cats. Occasionally he talks to real people, but only when he absolutely has to.

you are right, past me, you don't need a signed hardcover copy.
... on the other hand there's a cool skeleton on it.....
started of very silly and did keep being silly but i just don't like Landy's convoluted story telling anymore. didn't hate the experience though which is surprising. 3 stars of indifference.

I'm heartbroken. I simply didn't enjoy this like I thought I would. I liked it, don't get me wrong. But it didn't feel like a typical Skulduggery. We get the amazing writing (heck, even that was different), the sarcasm, the banter... but somehow it felt like a normal whodunnit with a ghost or something like that. The other books were more magical, if you get my drift. It was tol in the present tense which was something that threw me off. Every other chapter or paragraph started with "We're with Skulduggery now" or "We're now at the reception". Skulduggery Pleasant books never were put like this and personally, I don't like it. There was so little magic, at least that's what it felt like to me. The characters were completely over the top (Romeo was despicable and it was too much), I don't know if that was the case in the former books and I just really noticed it in this one or if it just me being extra sensitive... The last books grew. They even got political with the dimwhit in the White House - where was that here? This review is coming out completey scrambled but I just can't put it down in any other way. I still love Skulduggery and Valkyrie and will definetly be back for more, I just hope the series picks back up again. This felt like it was just a filler...
Have you read this? (This was out in September and although I follow Landy's work, I only learned about the release like three days ago. Haven't seen it on Goodreads either.)

This series has had an irreversible impact on my sense of humour.
September 29, 2024
While I enjoyed reading this I felt there was something missing. Upon questioning why this book didn't fully hit the spot - that is often hit with bullseye precision by a Skulduggery novel - I found that it lacked the character depth I have come to love from previous installments.
Skulduggery and Valkyrie have always been sarcastic, it was a bit over the top this time round. A lot of the dialogue was also pointless in my opinion, and contributed very little to the plot. There were no real deep moments that tend to ground the reader, and I never felt like Skulduggery or Valkyrie were ever in any real danger. It almost felt like this was a video game and Skulduggery and and Valkyrie were doing a side quest for which they were grossly over-levelled.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed how creative the mystery was, and did find myself enjoying a lot of the humour. The sleuth work was highly impressive and it was interesting - as it normally is - to read as Skulduggery displays his knowledge on a plethora of obscure topics.
All in all it is a solid entry in the series, marred only by it's lack of tension.

Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are on the case again
Romeo Gideon, the TV magician is invited to be interviewed at the most haunted hotel, the Hollow Hotel, by journalists Kate and Lucy.
He brought his assistant Clive.
A man was killed. And now the task is to find who killed the man. Only the person is killed by magic. So Skulduggery and Valkyrie have to figure out what's going on.
As it is supernatural. There are ghosts and serial killers. And it is a fun ride to figure out who is the serial killers, who are killing people. And what's happening with the ghosts and haunting?
Not scary at all. It is a detective story with supernatural elements.
There is a ghost Elaine who is trapped in the mansion by a horrible man. Both the serial killers and the haunting elements, and the hotel having strange corridors going nowhere add to the challenges. It is really a lot of fun but the details of the story will give out too many spoilers. The big part of the hints of how the rooms and corridors work is about music.

Not a bad short story! Kept me interested!!

An audiobook published in a podcast format is completely new to me, and I wasn't sure how I'd feel about it. But this was so much fun!
I'm not going to lie to you, I did get impatient at having to wait each week for the new episode to be released. But that's just my impatience, and especially given that this is fully out now and you lucky folk can just binge it? Well it's not really relevant is it? So I'll just shut up.
We're following Skulduggery and Valkyrie in "the most haunted house in England" where, of course, a murder has been committed. A storm is closing in and all exits are blocked off. The Irish magical detectives have only hours to figure out who the killer is in a hotel filled with the tortured spirits of the dead, the anguished wails of the dying, and the relentless whines of the living.
I do feel like I need to warn you about the sound effects. They're amazing. No, I'm being serious the sound effects are so much more in depth than I had anticipated, and there were a few times where I was listening out in public and flinched because of the screams that I wasn't expecting to rip through my earbuds. (they were a little intense, and very realistic, so forewarned is forearmed!)
With all the expected twists and turns from a Skulduggery book, as well as all of the expected ridiculous banter and stupidity, it was so fun to experience our two main characters in such a different way. There are full cast audiobooks and there are this incredible podcast format. Can we get this for all Skulduggery books in the future?!

Honestly this book doesn’t need to exist.
When I preordered it I assumed it would be a script, due to the fact it’s supposed to coincide with the podcast play? Show?
Anyway.
I thought it was going to be a script book, not an actual novel, a novel still trying to be a script book of that makes sense.
It reads….disjointed is the best way I can describe it. Skulduggery and Valkyrie feel out of character, like they are actors trying to be the characters but over acting.
The general story is a combination of The Haunting (1999), Clue and Winchester. Great ideas to pull from but…..
…….honestly this should of either JUST been a podcast or JUST been a book. Not both. The book feels like it’s trying to up stage the show while…I haven’t listened to the podcast and honestly don’t plan to after this.

A weird mystery that throws all of the facts at you but in a complicated way that makes you feel like you don't know what the heck is happening until the reveals and then you're like "I knew it! I remember that being casually mentioned!" and then another twist hits and you're like "Oh damn! For reals??" and then when you think it's done, bam, one more twist! Fun.
Sort of an Agatha Christie style mystery but with the classic Skulduggery and Valkyrie banter and nonsense I absolutely love, with a bit of a building, complex plot, that eventually just devolves further into Val being exasperated by Skulduggery's knowledge and penchant for teaching her stuff she didn't ask to learn.
Fun 😆

3.75 rounded up for goodreads!
I listened to the dramatised audio version of this book, which was done really well! The voice cast for the most part did a brilliant job, and all the foley work was really good too. Kevin Healy as usual did a brilliant job as Skulduggery
This one was a quick read, (just under 4 hours) and the plot was fun to follow along with, even if it did get a little convoluted towards the end. I really enjoyed this one, although I don’t know if it’d recommend it as your first jump into the series - Val and Skulduggery are a little bit insufferable at the start of this one

Thank you to Harper Collins NZ for gifting me this for my review.
.
Derek Landy is an amazing writer, he is also a fascinating person. He has a unique sense of humor which comes out in the Skulduggery Pleasant series particularly between his two main characters Skulduggery himself and Vaylkarie.
.
This series follows Vaylkarie as she learns about this magical world and survives to grow up in in
.
The Haunted House on Hollow Hill, is a short novel set between the later novels. The humor is brilliant and im a sucker for a haunted house.
.
I would highly recommend this series to everyone and anyone. Old or Young.

What an absolutely charming and bizarre book. After the large and overwhelming stories that came before, this is like a superb after-dinner mint. Perfectly timed and readily welcomed.

“Do you have it? Did you find the Staff of Arkanemok? Why are you holding a twig?”
This was a madcap screwball of a murder mystery. I enjoyed it. But it was a little too on the nose with hilarity.

I think this is what I've been missing from Skulduggery Pleasant since Until the End. I don't know about everyone else but I absolutely loved this.
This is essentially a limited cast, isolated murder mystery, with Derek Landy's signature comedic flair. It's not something I ever expected from Skulduggery Pleasant but now that I've read it, I wonder why. Because this honestly feels like a match made in heaven. There's also a touch of absurdism/surrealism in the way the cast is written which lends it a different, unique vibe compared to other books in the series. It really worked for me, but your mileage may vary.
This is also a perfect little microcosm of why I loved the original Skulduggery Pleasant series. One of the biggest compliments I always give the first series is that absolutely nothing is extraneous detail - the plot is intricate and complicated, and every single minor detail - things you would never expect to matter - is circled back to at some point by the end of the series. And that is the same for this story. Every single weird detail is important, the plot is intricately constructed and flawlessly logical and absolutely everything makes sense. Even to its detriment, because I think the final scene kind of detracts from the wrap-up of the main plot, but it is foreshadowed if you know enough about the history being mentioned.
The cast of suspects is fairly interesting and like any good murder mystery, they're all hiding their own secrets. It's also gratifying to read a book that's not from Valkyrie's perspective. Because the omniscient narrator puts emphasis on what an absolute goddamn weirdo she is. Which is something we don't really get when reading the main series, but is now clear is absolutely intentional.
So yeah, overall I loved this. I'd be interested to listen to the original audio version, because I think it could work even better than the prose.

This translated very poorly into a podcast. It was so hard to follow, and I didn't particularly enjoy the narration. Hopefully a physical re-read will hold up better!

generous 2.5/5 rounded up.
While I get what it was going for with the whole classic old-school episodic murder mystery vibe... I just wasn't a fan. It felt awkward and clunky reading these characters we're so familiar with written so completely differently (and don't even get me started on the skulduggery glazing continuing). Perhaps I'd have enjoyed it more if it were a standalone adjunct novella that isn't part of the official SP line up.
It just felt like kind of a waste bc the overall story was so inconsequential. After A Mind Full of Murder I had so many things I wanted to see followed up on; Val's relationship with Winter, what the deal with the black crystal power is, what did they do with the wand? is ghastly going down a bad path as grand mage? THE CATS!?!! none of this was even mentioned!!!
I'm sure he'll continue on at some point but I was just under the impression that this directly followed the events of MFM. Once I got to the half way mark I did start to get into the mystery but it took a while, and even then there were so many characters that I barely got a chance to care about any of them. Oh well. Despite my disappointment can I really be that mad? If I can get through midnight I can get though anything lol. As ever, I will be sat for the next one.

'The Haunted House on Hollow Hill' by Derek Landy.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Unputdownable!
I read this in a day and a half, I absolutely loved it. I might be biased when it comes to the Skullduggery series but this book was fast paced, lots of action, lots of magic and plenty of sarcasm.
Loved Bert and Nora, have a little spot for them.
On a dark and stormy night …
A pair of ghost-hunting journalists arrive at the most haunted house in Britain – the Hollow Hotel. They’re here to interview the Dark King of television magic, Romeo Gideon.
Instead, they discover the body of a murdered man hanging from the rafters – the work of a killer who wields actual magic as viciously as he does his blade. With the storm closing in, all exit routes cut off, and the killer taking them out one by one, their only hope lies with the two mysterious Irish detectives who seem quite at home with all this bloodshed …
Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain have only hours to figure out who the killer is in a hotel filled with the tortured spirits of the dead, the anguished wails of the dying, and the relentless whines of the living.

Dieses Buch als ein wöchentliches Audiodrama zu hören, war eine absolut einzigartige Erfahrung. Landy geht in diesem Band voll auf die Krimi Schiene und bewirft uns mit Twists und unerwarteten Momente. Jede einzelne Figur die in diesem Haus steckt, hat ihre eigenen Geheimnisse und zum Ende wird es sooo chaotisch. Keine Ahnung, wie es in Buchform funktioniert, aber die Geschichte selbst war geil.
(+)
- Witzigstes Buch der Reihe, seit einer Weile
- Lucy und Kate waren Highlight
- Skuls Intelligenz wird in den Vordergrund gerückt
- So viele geile Twists!
(-)
- Ja, Landy kann es wieder nicht lassen, unglaublich viel in eine eigentlich kleine Geschichte zu pressen, aber diesmal hat es mich nicht sonderlich gestört

Although the latest book in the Skulduggery Pleasant lineup this is only the second book that l've read, and honestly this series is so much fun. A murder-mystery in a haunted house? Count me in.
There are so many twists and turns in this middle-grade book. I love the overall tone of the novel and the way that Skulduggery and Valkyrie both show nonchalance in the face of death. What's a little murder when you're a talking skeleton?
If you're new to the series then this can be read as a standalone, but if you want to know a little more about our title character then I recommend starting at the start.
Personally, I'm planning on reading more of the series in future!
Thanks so much to harpercollinsnz for sending me this one to review!

This book is based on the new podcast of the same name however there are a couple of new characters.
I really enjoyed this book. The dialogue was pacey and there were lots of twists and turns that were not expected.
A great read.
