The Skellington Chronicles is the tenth solo album by Julian Cope, released in June 1993 on Cope's own Ma-Gog label. It contains the previously released 1989 album Skellington and its sequel Skellington 2, released here for the first time. Skellington 2 was, like its predecessor, recorded in just two days on April 21–22, 1993.
The Skellington Chronicles was re-released as Ye Skellington Chronicles in 1999 with one song removed from the track listing and two bonus tracks.
