The Last Days of Jack Sparks

Summary

"Ingenious and funny . . . Magnificent." — Alan Moore, creator of Watchmen and V for VendettaJack 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." — M. R. Carey, author of The Girl With All the Gifts
