The Last Days of Jack Sparks, by Jason Arnopp

ARE YEW SHITTING ME?? That’s how it ends???
3.75 stars. This was a wild fkn ride. I haven’t read horror that got under my skin the way this did in a while so cheers to that. I loved how this was written and watching the descent into madness of our shitty, maybe redeemable main character. The first half was great but then it got a little Ebenezer Scrooge-y when the book kept making a point of how his selfishness was the cause of everything. I like my horror to have a bit of mystique so that lessened my enjoyment. The reveal was pretty cool but I wanted more closure than that non-ending
