    "I'm not sure there's a God, but I thank Her for Alan Moore." -- Entertainment Weekly "One of the most significant fiction writers in English . . . Moore's influence can be felt everywhere-in our literature, on our screens, in our politics." -- The Guardian "[Moore's] lyrical style is a play of poetry and metaphor with a dash of dry humor . . . This is a lavishly crafted urban fantasy tale with a caustic and colorful cast, perfect for fans of Susanna Clarke." -- Library Journal "Like Dickens, Alan Moore has us waiting on the dock, impatient for the next installment of his breathless, time-travelling classic. A preternaturally convincing hallucination from London's fetid past transports us, in some mysterious way, over the abyss of our impoverished post-digital present. Savage, humane, comic, terrifying: and that's just the first page. Now read on." -- Iain Sinclair "A profound, gorgeous novel of secret magics and lost souls." -- Sunyi Dean, USA Today bestselling author of THE BOOK EATERS "The worldbuilding is extraordinary and the plot is utterly gripping. Readers are sure to be sucked in." -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Moore makes the parochial universal, the mundane sublime and the temporal never-ending." -- Financial Times "A dynamite story collection . . . remarkable." -- The New York Times Book Review on ILLUMINATIONS, "I'm not sure there's a God, but I thank Her for Alan Moore." -- Entertainment Weekly "One of the most significant fiction writers in English . . . Moore's influence can be felt everywhere-in our literature, on our screens, in our politics." -- The Guardian "[Moore's] lyrical style is a play of poetry and metaphor with a dash of dry humor . . .

Now read on." -- Iain Sinclair "A profound, gorgeous novel of secret magics and lost souls." -- Sunyi Dean, USA Today bestselling author of THE BOOK EATERS "Alan Moore is a visionary artist and a myth maker, and in The Great When he delivers the mystical core of the occult tradition of London: a fantasy novel that features Arthur Machen, Austin Osman Spare, an alternative world that is more real than ours, bookstores, crime and a city traumatized by the war. And he does this with fun, with challenging and beautiful writing, with delight and with the knowledge that there are portals and only a few can access them. This is a weird book and it's a complete joy." -- Mariana Enríquez, author of OUR SHARE OF NIGHT "The worldbuilding is extraordinary and the plot is utterly gripping. Readers are sure to be sucked in." -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Moore makes the parochial universal, the mundane sublime and the temporal never-ending." -- Financial Times "A rollicking adventure." -- Lit Hub, Most Anticipated Books of 2024, Part Two "Moore's latest is a love letter to the city of London, full of small ironies and nods to the history and character of its neighborhoods as well as its resilience post-WWII." -- Booklist "A wildly kinetic and entertaining adventure . . . as well as a kind of postwar coming-of-age tale for its young protagonist and his spirited companion." -- Locus Magazine " The Great When is a corker . . . Moore is entirely in charge here, confident and witty and pulling us along. The Great When is the first book in The Long London Quintet. If you read it, that fact will make you very happy indeed." -- Parade "In his expansive and ambitious new novel, The Great When , Alan Moore pens a love letter to art, literature and London that's sure to capture readers' imaginations . . . He illuminates every little detail of a London reeling from the end of the war, and his joy in doing so is palpable; this book is as much a celebration of our London as it is the creation of a new one. Characters are so vividly rendered that you can practically see them in full-color illustrations . . . Readers seeking big ideas and colorful splashes of language will love exploring The Great When -and look forward to future entries in the Long London series." -- BookPage "A dynamite story collection . . . remarkable." -- The New York Times Book Review on ILLUMINATIONS, "I''m not sure there''s a God, but I thank Her for Alan Moore." -- Entertainment Weekly "One of the most significant fiction writers in English . . .

    Synopsis
    From the New York Times bestselling author and legendary storyteller Alan Moore, the first book in an enthralling new series about murder, magic, and madness set between two Londons-one recovering from World War II, and one a secret world unlike any other. "Extraordinary . . . very funny . . . It does what fantasy does best which is show us something beyond our experience." -Susanna Clarke, New York Times bestselling author of Piranesi and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, From the New York Times bestselling author and legendary storyteller Alan Moore, the first book in an enthralling new series about murder, magic, and madness set between two Londons-one recovering from World War II, and one a secret world unlike any other. "Extraordinary . . . very funny . . . It does what fantasy does best which is show us something beyond our experience." -Susanna Clarke, New York Times bestselling author of Piranesi and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell In 1949, amidst the smog of London, Dennis Knuckleyard, a hapless eighteen year-old employed by a second-hand bookshop, discovers a novel that simply does not exist. It is a fictitious book, one only existing within another novel. Yet it is physically there in his hands. How? Dennis has stumbled on a book from the Great When, a magical version of London beyond time and space, where reality blurs with fiction and concepts such as Crime and Poetry are incarnated as wondrous, terrible beings. But this other, magical London must remain a secret: if Dennis cannot find a way to return this book to where it belongs, he risks facing gruesome and grave repercussions. So begins a journey delving deep into the city's occult underbelly and tarrying with an eccentric cast of sorcerers, gangsters, and murderers - some from legend, some frighteningly real, and all with plans of their own. Soon Dennis finds himself at the center of an explosive series of events that may alter and endanger both Londons forever . . .
