The Jennifer Morgue

Über

The Jennifer Morgue is the second collection of stories by British author Charles Stross, published in 2006. Featuring Bob Oliver Francis Howard, it contains the title novel The Jennifer Morgue, the short story "Pimpf", and an essay titled "The Golden Age of Spying". The collection is a sequel to the stories published in The Atrocity Archives; a third book, The Fuller Memorandum, was released in July 2010. The stories are Lovecraftian spy thrillers involving a secret British intelligence agency known as "The Laundry", which deals with occult events and technology.
Where 2004's The Atrocity Archives is written in the idiom of Len Deighton, The Jennifer Morgue is a pastiche of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels and refers to the real-life Project Azorian; Stross also uses footnotes and narrative causality, two literary devices common in the novels of Terry Pratchett.
The Jennifer Morgue was nominated for the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel in 2007.
