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
wasthatvideo:
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."

R.
Carey,

"Takes

frenetic
and
self-obsessed
modern
world
in
its
confident
stride...
gives
us
ingenious
and
funny
diabolism,
repurposed
for

magnificent
millennial
nightmare."—Alan

"Wow. Seriously hard to put down . . . Chilling and utterly immersive."—M. R. Carey, author of The Girl With All the Gifts
"Jack Sparks is a tremendously fascinating, entertaining, and an entirely contemporary movie character. His journey into the supernatural and his clashes with those forces and with himself are hilarious, disturbing, exciting and surprising as hell. I couldn't put the book down and I believe it will be a blast for audiences to experience the movie version."—Ron Howard
"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 Timesbestselling author
"Wittier than the lovechild of Stephen Fry and Charlie Brooker; scarier than watchingThe Exorcistin an abandoned asylum. Fast, furious, original and most importantly, terrifying."—Sarah Lotz, author of The Three
"This isThe Omenfor the social media age."—Chris Brookmyre, author of the Jack Parlabane thrillers
"Original, clever, scary and funny...It kept me gripped and guessing from page one."—Rebecca Levene, author of The Hollow Gods series
"A breath of fresh air, vivid and essential."—John Higgs, author of Stranger Than We Can Imagine
"I always suspected Jason Arnopp was a genius, and now, having read his first novel, I know I was right. Jack Sparks is an extraordinary literary creation, clever and awful, loveable and cruel and his story is so terrifying and believable that I could barely bring myself to turn off my lights at bedtime."—Lisa Jewell, international bestselling author
"Funny, creepy and totally nuts."—Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts
"Devour it in one sitting."
—Australian Way
"The Last Days of Jack Sparkswas an absolute blast - thoroughly enjoyed it!"—Adrian Selby, author of Snakewood
"A darkly comic, genuinely unnerving, incredibly well-executed horror novel."—B&N
"Savagely humorous and very spooky modern morality tale."—Daily Mail
"Bizarre, funny, and at times downright creepy, Arnopp's debut is a worthy entry in the horror field."
