Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine to let us share our excitement for books coming out soon.
This book, honestly, just sounds like it could be fun (and maybe creepy). The piecing the story together through files after his death reminds me of The Three and The Deadhouse. Definitely looking forward to it!
The Last Days of Jack Sparks by Jason Arnopp
Also by this author: The Last Days of Jack Sparks
on July 28th 2016
Prepare for the cleverest, most addictive thriller you will read this year. This is the story of the ill-fated Jack Sparks – a man who plays with fire, and pays the price . . .
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: thirty-six 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. This book, compiled from the files found after his death, reveals the chilling details of Jack’s final hours.
Read on 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 . . .
Okay, this DOES sound like it could be good, creepy fun! I love novels that are written in kind of a memoir style, even when the titular character (apparently) dies at the end. I’ll keep an eye out for your review of this one when it comes out!

Yes, I do get that “The Three” feel when I read the synopsis. I wonder if the story is going to be written in the same style, or as an oral biography, or just “normal” style?

Haha – this sounds great. I’ve not seen or heard of this before but I will keep my eye out. Sounds like Jack had himself an accident with the occult there doesn’t it! Chilling.

This does look interesting! I wonder if they’ll release the ebook earlier than the print, since I notice conflicting release dates.
