In a city where words come to life and reality is infected by stories, private eye John Nyquist wakes up in a room with a dead bodyâ¿¿ The dead man's impossible whispers plunge him into a murder investigation like no other. Clues point him deeper into an unfolding story infesting its participants as reality blurs between place and genre. Only one man can hope to put it all together, enough that lives can be savedâ¿¿ That man is Nyquist, and he is lost.
A moody, grimy, ruthlessly funny read its sense of play and sly manipulation of reader expectations about metafiction, weird fiction, and noir is still quite the trip.
Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
By writing a novel set in literature itself the author has created a new psychedelic meta-genre as well as a fantastic story that sticks in the mind long after the novel itself is read.
British Fantasy Society
There is a fluidness to Noon's writing that initially made me think The Body Library would be like Ishiguro's dream-like The Unconsoled. As I read further, however, I felt more like I was in the atmosphere of 1408 by Stephen King or the movie Dark City the noir settings and slip-away realities where what's around the corner can't be articulated and yet ... Things change and reality is different but the writing is well-structured so it's easy to follow. The writing is as much of a treat as the setting and the story and the characters.
Ephemeral Digest
Lordy, this was one HELL of a trip. Not for the faint of heart. Or the impatient. But by Bradbury in heaven, I swear this is the spiritual godson of The Illustrated Man on PCP. Noon s imagination is TOP NOTCH. I think I ve just found my new favorite to-go guy for cutting edge and brilliant Weird fiction.
Brad K Horner
The Body Library is a brilliant piece of writing that does a satisfying job of merging noir, magical realism, and a love of all things literary.
SF Revu
An ingeniously manufactured art object, directing the reader s attention with a concatenation of smoky-eyed dreamlike imagery punctured by the Pavlovian responses of its actors like a film noir mystery directed by Luis Buñuel and edited by Lev Kuleshov.
The 1000 Year Plan
Underneath the beautiful madness The Body Library is wittily observant, creepy and disconcerting, occasionally humorous, always on message even as it goes off on tangentsand is a wonderfully hypnotic and completely mesmerizing story. I loved every single insane moment of it, just riveting. Completely riveting.

Praise for A Man of Shadows
This superb novel of light, glass and blood proves again that Jeff Noon is one of our few true visionaries.
Warren Ellis
A disturbing and bizarre journey by one of the great masters of weird fiction.
Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time
It s a heady psychedelic mix, packed with literary allusions, which brilliantly explores notions of self-identity, personal awareness and how we fit into our own stories.
The Guardian
Manchester s delirious prophet returns with scripture written in shadow and light.
Kieron Gillen, co-creator of The Wicked + The Divine
Noon has written a kaleidoscopic noir novel of dizzying dream logic.
Publishers Weekly
