Description

From New York Times bestselling author and legendary storyteller Alan Moore, the second book in the Long London Series, a daringly inventive fantasy novel about murder, mayhem, and magic.

It's 1958 and Dennis Knuckleyard has decided to leave his adventures in the Great When in the past where they belong. For nine years, he's avoided so much as thinking about the magical version of London, until he rediscovers an unpleasant reminder of his last adventure-a key that he'd secretly brought into his own world from the other for safekeeping.

But while Dennis may believe he's done with the Great When, it's far from done with him. When Dennis gives the key to a friend, its magical properties reawaken, bringing creatures from the other world into Dennis's and sparking riots in Notting Hill. Even worse, Dennis's old crush Grace Shilling has been forced into the Great When to investigate strange happenings in both cities.

Desperate to keep Grace safe, Dennis follows her into Long London. But once inside the other city, it will not let him go again so easily, and Dennis and Grace must fight to set things right in the Great When and their own world, or forever lose their lives-and each other.

Full of Moore's characteristically stunning world building and rollicking prose, I Hear a New World is the extraordinary second adventure in the Long London series.

Alan Moore

Alan Moore is an English writer widely regarded as…

Extraordinary . . . very funny . . . It does what fantasy does best which is show us something beyond our experience.

Susanna Clarke, NYT bestselling author of PIRANESI and JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORRELL on THE GREAT WHEN
I Hear a New World is more speculative fantasy than crime fiction, yet it has enough criminous content to enchant mystery readers . . . Mr. Moore, who has created acclaimed comic books and fiction, draws on all his talents in crafting this lurid collage of English culture past, present and future.

The Wall Street Journal
Bestseller Moore's satisfying second Long London urban fantasy . . . again adroitly blends the fantastic and the mundane . . . Moore's worldbuilding is as fascinating as ever. Series fans won't be disappointed.

Publishers Weekly
The next in the series after The Great When (2024), Moore's latest continues his dramatic, epic love letter to London . . . Readers will enjoy Dennis' hapless struggle to get out of yet another visit to the Great When alive as well as the entrancing atmosphere and creatures of that other London.

Booklist
As much as this novel takes place in the other London, the fantastic and terrifying different city, it also unfolds in locales like Notting Hill, Soho, and Kensington . . . Moore deftly weaves just the right amount of historical and social context into his tale . . . How long can Dennis and Grace straddle these two worlds, one ever-changing and the other filled with terrors past and present? Will they ever escape the pull of the Great When? Fans of this series will hope not.

Brian Tanquay, California Review of Books
Alan Moore, the man behind such comic masterpieces as Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell, [and] The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen continues to prove he is just as masterful and unconventional as a novelist.

Dean Poling, The Valdosta Daily Times
