Creeping Jenny
Jeff Noon
From the Philip K. Dick Award Shortlisted-author, comes the third Nyquist Mystery...
In the winter of 1959, private eye John Nyquist arrives in the village of Hoxley-on-the-Hale with only a package of cryptic photographs, and the frail hope of finding an answer to a question he’s been asking since his childhood.
But the villagers offer little help, as each day brings a twisted new rule in the name of a different Saint that they, and Nyquist, must follow. And there are whispers of the return of the Tolly Man, an avatar of chaos in a terrible mask…
As Nyquist struggles to distinguish friend from foe, and the Tolly Man draws nearer, he must race to finally settle the one mystery he has never been able to solve: the disappearance of his father.
This dark folk horror tale is perfect for fans of Midsommar and The Witch.
"Superbly thrilling mystery, richly veined with weirdness."
- ★★★★★ NetGalley Review
