"The Jennifer Morgue" (2006, ISBN 1-930846-45-2) is the second collection of stories by Charles Stross featuring Bob Howard, containing 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" (2004).

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 Jennifer; Stross also uses footnotes and narrative causality, two literary devices common in the novels of Terry Pratchett.
