‘I COULDN’T PUT THE BOOK DOWN’ Ron Howard
‘CHILLING AND UTTERLY IMMERSIVE’ M. R. Carey
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.

The Last Days of Jack Sparks is whip-smart and perhaps, the greatest indictment of social media or endorsement of it . . . It is that kind of wonderful book that plays with your perception and is the very last word in gonzo journalism. If Hunter S. Thompson decided to write a novel channelling Aleister Crowley and with the wit of Augustus Burroughs, you would have the essence of this terrific novel
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
Brilliantly unnerving. I couldn't put it down
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
We fell hard for Jason Arnopp's whip-smart and impulsive thriller . . . meet your new favourite book
Ingenious and funny . . . A magnificent millennial nightmare
[A] shriekingly good paranormal thriller . . . Superb pacing, tightrope-taut suspense building and tight plotting
It grabbed me relentlessly and made me reprioritize sleep . . . The conclusion is shocking, heartbreaking and absolutely fabulous. I really just loved this one.
Tremendous . . . a cracking read
Cracking fun and genuinely creepy
Funny, creepy, and totally nuts. I had a blast reading it
Quite brilliant. An assured, ultra-modern occult story with real depth of character, a compelling and satisfyingly twisted narrative and a streak of genuine malevolence
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
Fascinating, hilarious, disturbing, exciting and surprising as hell. I couldn't put the book down
This is The Omen for the social media age
Wow. Seriously hard to put down . . . Chilling and utterly immersive
Arnopp's snappy prose and bizarre plot carry the day. An uneasy suspense shrouds the pages like a murky London fog. Devour it in one sitting
A breath of fresh air, vivid and essential
An absolutely great read. It scared the bejeezus out of me!
Super spooky and addictively written
If you enjoy smart supernatural thrillers then read this book . . . I smashed through it in a couple of days
Original, clever, scary and funny...It kept me gripped and guessing from page one
As funny as it is frightening
