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: 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.

When Mouse’s dad asks her to clean out her dead grandmother's house, she says yes. After all, how bad could it be? Answer: pretty bad. Grandma was a hoarder, and her house is stuffed with useless rubbish. That would be horrific enough, but there’s more - Mouse stumbles across her step-grandfather’s journal, which at first seems to be filled with nonsensical rants...until Mouse encounters some of the terrifying things he described for herself.

Julie is missing, and no one believes she will ever return - except Elise. Elise knows Julie better than anyone, and feels it in her bones that her best friend is out there and that one day Julie will come back. She’s right. Two years to the day that Julie went missing, she reappears with no memory of where she’s been or what happened to her. Along with Molly and Mae, their two close friends from college, the women decide to reunite at a remote inn. But the second Elise sees Julie, she knows something is wrong - she’s emaciated, with sallow skin and odd appetites.

Felix Allsey is a travel writer with a keen eye for the paranormal, and he's carved out a unique, if only slightly lucrative, niche for himself in nonfiction; he writes travelogues of the country's most haunted places, after haunting them himself. When he convinces the owner of the infamous Rotterdam Mansion to let him stay on the premises for two weeks, he believes he's finally found the location that will bring him a best seller. Then things start going wrong: screams from upstairs, figures in the thresholds, and more than what should be in any basement.

An army of monsters walks among us, hidden in plain sight. They're fast. They're strong. They're unrelenting. And they only want one thing: The shitty gas station at the edge of town. Coming as a surprise to absolutely no one, Jack - night-shift clerk and local crazy person - has found himself neck-deep in the middle of yet another world-ending terror. And this time around, nobody can be trusted. Not that tough-as-nails cop who probably knows a lot more than she's letting on. Not the adorkable new employee who might be something far less innocent than she appears.

For graduate student Jeremy Freirs, citified, cynical, yet prone to daydreams, summer is the time to shed a few pounds and finally get some reading done for a course on Gothic literature. He's picked just the right place: the small, secluded village of Gilead, New Jersey, only 90 minutes from Manhattan but, with its antique customs and clannish traditions, seemingly centuries away. For farmers Sarr and Deborah Poroth, young members of Gilead's fundamentalist community, the summer threatens a conflict between their passionate natures and the stern dictates of their faith.

Pure black and the sense of pulsation, especially when you look at it too closely, the sense of something not living but alive." It begins with curiosity, a joke - the Funhole down the hall. But then the experiments begin. "Wouldn't it be wild to go down there?" says Nakota. Nicholas says "We're not." But they're not in control, not from the first moment, as those experiments lead to obsession, violence, and a very final transformation.

In the spring of 1903, the 311, known to locals as “The Majestic”, carried more than 100 passengers on board toward a tunnel mouth that would allow the 13-car locomotive to pass safely through the underbelly of the Canadian Rockies. The tunnel swallowed the 311 whole, and the train - and everyone on it - were never seen again.

A Wild Ride!
- By Cheree Ingram on 07-31-20
Publisher's Summary
Jason Arnopp - author of acclaimed cult hit The Last Days of Jack Sparks - returns with a razor-sharp thriller for a social-media obsessed world. Prepare to never look at your phone the same way again....
Kate Collins has been ghosted.
She was supposed to be moving in with her new boyfriend, Scott, but all she finds after relocating to Brighton is an empty apartment. Scott has vanished. His possessions have all disappeared.
Except for his mobile phone.
Kate knows she shouldn't hack into Scott's phone. She shouldn't look at his Tinder, his calls, his social media. But she can't quite help herself.
That's when the trouble starts. Strange, whispering phone calls from numbers she doesn't recognize. Scratch marks on the walls that she can't explain. And the growing feeling that she's being watched.
Kate refuses to leave the apartment - she's not going anywhere until she's discovered what happened to Scott. But the deeper she dives into Scott's digital history, the more Kate realizes just how little she really knows about the man she loves.

The Last Days of Jack Sparks
Critic Reviews
"The best cross-genre thriller I've read in a long, long time. Twisty, creepy and absolutely absorbing." (Sarah Pinborough)
"A helter-skelter collision of social media and the supernatural. Hugely enjoyable." (Chris Brookmyre)
"A fiendishly smart exploration of obsession and social media addiction, Ghoster, will haunt you in more ways than one. Compulsively readable, terrifying and laced with Jason Arnopp's trademark wit, you'll never look at your phone in the same way again." (Sarah Lotz)
"A magnificently twisted and utterly unnerving tale that taps the rawest of our collective fears about social media.... Genuinely unsettling and oddly provocative, this is a weird and worthy addition to Arnopp's growing canon." (Publishers Weekly)

Such a Departure
I grabbed this book immediately after it was released, having absolutely loved The Last Days of Jack Sparks. Unfortunately for me, the thing which drew me in to that last novel by Arnopp seems to have been something other than his writing. The only way I can think to describe this book is this: I'm bored. As I write this review, I've got about an hour left, and I honestly don't know that I'll finish it. The plot is so meandering and seemingly unfocused, it's eleven hours of back and forth without much progress forward. After all that buildup, the "big reveal" is anything but. I literally scoffed like a lunatic while listening at my desk at work. Just terribly, horribly disappointing. Very little of this book even spooked me, let alone made me feel uneasy or scared, while Arnopp's previous work gave me nightmares. If you're looking for more Jack Sparks, I'm afraid you're not going to find it here. Just a lame attempt at horror screaming "CelL PhoNeS aRE BAaaDdD!!1!". Edit: Got through the last hour and I wish I hadn't, because I'm never getting that time back. The ending is the nail in the coffin, biggest disappointment I've had in a long while.

Awesome
I realize that there are some parallels with Last Days of Jack Sparks, and all I can say is what an ending! definitely worth the wait. the way that the author plays with space and time is amazing. in LDoJS, I experienced some real terror with "Mimi", but in Ghoster, "The Master" was just as terrifying.
