What Happened To Jack Sparks?

What really happened to the tragic celebrity journalist and social media star Jack Sparks?

Discover the full story, for the first time since Jack's mysterious death, in my book The Last Days Of Jack Sparks, optioned by Ron Howard's Imagine Entertainment.

Selected by Simon Mayo's Radio 2 Book Club. Longlisted for The Guardian's Not The Booker Prize.

" I couldn't put the book down" - Ron Howard

"A magnificent millennial nightmare" - Alan Moore, creator of Watchmen, V For Vendetta and From Hell. 

"Wow, seriously hard to put down... chilling and utterly immersive" ―M.R. Carey, author of The Girl With All The Gifts

"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

Blog: Eleven reasons why you need this book in your life.

For full details, see my Jack Sparks page.
