Description

'A MAGNIFICENT MILLENNIAL NIGHTMARE' - Alan Moore

Jack Sparks died while writing this book.

It was no secret that journalist Jack Sparks had been researching the occult for his new book. No stranger to controversy, he'd already triggered a furious Twitter storm by mocking an exorcism he witnessed.

Then there was that video: forty seconds of chilling footage that Jack repeatedly claimed was not of his making, yet was posted from his own YouTube account.

Nobody knew what happened to Jack in the days that followed - until now.

'Wow. Seriously hard to put down...Chilling and utterly immersive' - M. R. Carey, author of THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS

'This is The Omen for the social media age' - Chris Brookmyre, author of the Jack Parlabane thrillers

'Wittier than the lovechild of Stephen Fry and Charlie Brooker, scarier than watching The Exorcist in an abandoned asylum' - Sarah Lotz, author of The Three

Reviews

Ingenious and funny . . . A magnificent millennial nightmare

Wow. Seriously hard to put down...Chilling and utterly immersive

This is The Omen for the social media age - Chris Brookmyre, author of the Jack Parlabane thrillers

Wittier than the lovechild of Stephen Fry and Charlie Brooker, scarier than watching The Exorcist in an abandoned asylum...Fast, furious, original and most importantly, terrifying

This is one of those books where I'm sad when I'm not reading it. It manages the rare feat of being both horrific and hilarious, which makes me insanely jealous of Arnopp and has me considering how to kill him and consume his mighty power - Chuck Wendig, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author

Tremendous . . . A cracking read

Original, clever, scary and funny...Jack Sparks manages all that and more. It kept me gripped and guessing from page one

Cracking fun and genuinely creepy - Rick O'Shea, radio presenter

Author Bio

Jason Arnopp is a British author and scriptwriter. His background is in journalism: he has worked on titles such as Heat, Q, The Word, Kerrang!, SFX and Doctor Who Magazine. He has written comedy for Radio 4 and official tie-in fiction for Doctor Who and Friday the 13th, but The Last Days of Jack Sparks is the first novel which is entirely Jason's own fault (though some may prefer to lay the blame on Jack...).
