THE MOST CHILLING AND UNPREDICTABLE THRILLER OF THE YEAR.
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
DISCOVER THE LAST DAYS OF JACK SPARKS – DESTINED TO BE 2016’S MOST TALKED-ABOUT THRILLER

Reviews
This is The Omen for the social media age
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
Wow. Seriously hard to put down . . . Chilling and utterly immersive
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
As funny as it is frightening
Funny, creepy, and totally nuts. I had a blast reading it
[A] shriekingly good paranormal thriller . . . Superb pacing, tightrope-taut suspense building and tight plotting
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
It grabbed me relentlessly and made me reprioritize sleep . . . The conclusion is shocking, heartbreaking and absolutely fabulous. I really just loved this one.
Fascinating, hilarious, disturbing, exciting and surprising as hell. I couldn't put the book down
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
Tremendous . . . a cracking read
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
Funny, creepy, and totally nuts. I had a blast reading it
An absolutely great read. It scared the bejeezus out of me!
We fell hard for Jason Arnopp's whip-smart and impulsive thriller . . . meet your new favourite book
Cracking fun and genuinely creepy
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

Brilliantly unnerving. I couldn't put it down
Super spooky and addictively written
Cracking fun and genuinely creepy
This is The Omen for the social media age
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
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
