About this listen

Jack Sparks died while writing this book. This is the account of his final days.

In 2014, Jack Sparks - the controversial pop culture journalist - died in mysterious circumstances. To his fans, Jack was a fearless rebel; to his detractors, he was a talentless hack. Either way, his death came as a shock to everyone.

It was no secret that Jack had been researching the occult for his new book. He'd already triggered a furious Twitter storm by mocking an exorcism he witnessed in rural Italy. Then there was that video: 40 seconds of chilling footage that Jack repeatedly claimed was not of his making, yet it was posted from his own YouTube account.

Nobody knew what happened to Jack in the days that followed - until now. This book, compiled from the files found after his death, reveals the chilling details of Jack's final hours. Listen and decide for yourself what really happened to the notorious Jack Sparks - in this razor-sharp tale about the dangers of mocking what you don't believe....

Critic Reviews

"Wow...seriously good. Very hard to put down once I'd gotten into it, and with a really brilliant pay-off.... Chilling and utterly immersive." (M. R. Carey, author of The Girl with All the Gifts)
"A gut-twisting supernatural thriller that will even chill atheists. This is The Omen for the social media age." (Chris Brookmyre, author of the Jack Parlabane thrillers)
"Tremendous.... A cracking read." (Andy Nyman, cocreator of Ghost Stories and Derren Brown's award-winning shows)
"Wittier than the lovechild of Stephen Fry and Charlie Brooker, scarier than watching The Exorcist in an abandoned asylum, The Last Days of Jack Sparks is fast, furious, original and most importantly, terrifying." (Sarah Lotz, author of The Three)
"Original, clever, scary and funny.... Jack Sparks manages all that and more. It kept me gripped and guessing from page one." (Rebecca Levene, author of The Hollow Gods series)
"A contemporary novel which knows true horror lives in the present. A breath of fresh air, vivid and essential." (John Higgs, author of Stranger than We Can Imagine: Making Sense of the Twentieth Century)

Well written and preformed. I can’t say too much as it will spoil what the author is trying to do here but listened to this in basically one hit over a cold stormy weekend. Was not disappointed.

Excellent horror/comedy.

I was unable to stop listening until the end! A horror novel sprinkled with comedy, romance and a downward spiral.

Great Story Telling

I've only started listening to audiobooks, but this has been the BEST audiobook I've heard! Arnopp creates a riveting tale or mysteries upon mysteries, and draws them to a satisfying and thrilling conclusion. What made this novel special for me was how polished the narration was. Joe Jameson is incredibly talented in using his voice to construct dynamic and wildly different characters. As Jack Sparks, he draws listeners into a tale of unreliable narration by a character who is morally corrupt, and yet, we still sympathize with him.

Darkly humorous
