Jeff Noon: Creeping Jenny [2020] paperback

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.

From the singular imagination of Jeff Noon comes this dark tale of folk horror in the Philip K. Dick Award-nominated John Nyquist series.
