'MAGNIFICENT' Alan Moore
'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.

MEDIA REVIEWS

Fascinating, hilarious, disturbing, exciting and surprising as hell. I couldn't put the book down - Ron Howard, director of APOLLO 13, A BEAUTIFUL MIND and THE DA VINCI CODE

Ingenious and funny . . . A magnificent millennial nightmare - Alan Moore

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. Fast, furious, original and most importantly, terrifying - Sarah Lotz, author of THE THREE

We fell hard for Jason Arnopp's whip-smart and impulsive thriller . . . meet your new favourite book - iBooks Store

Super spooky and addictively written - HEAT

An absolutely great read. It scared the bejeezus out of me! - David Schneider, comedian, director and actor in I'M ALAN PARTRIDGE and THE DAY TODAY

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

Tremendous . . . a cracking read - Andy Nyman, co-creator of GHOST STORIES and Derren Brown's award-winning shows

If you enjoy smart supernatural thrillers then read this book . . . I smashed through it in a couple of days - Daniel P. Carter, Radio 1 DJ

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

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

[A] shriekingly good paranormal thriller . . . Superb pacing, tightrope-taut suspense building and tight plotting - SUN

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 - Andrew O'Neill, comedian, presenter and musician

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 - Ken Bruen, author of the Jack Taylor crime series

Funny, creepy, and totally nuts. I had a blast reading it - Paul Tremblay, author of HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS

It grabbed me relentlessly and made me reprioritize sleep . . . The conclusion is shocking, heartbreaking and absolutely fabulous. I really just loved this one. - THE SPECULATIVE HERALD

Brilliantly unnerving. I couldn't put it down - Tiernan Douieb, comedian

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 - THE AUSTRALIAN WAY

As funny as it is frightening - Paul Finch, SHORTLIST

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
