Ghoster

By: Jason Arnopp

Narrated by: Katy Sobey

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.

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 blistering satire of our digital lives disguised as a creepy thriller . . . . The story slowly morphs into something wholly unexpected-a twisty tale that just might qualify as the first true 21st-century horror story."—B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

"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

"Takes a frenetic and self-obsessed modern world in its confident stride ... gives us ingenious and funny diabolism, repurposed for the 21st Century. A magnificent millennial nightmare."
—Alan Moore, creator of Watchmen and V for Vendetta on The Last Days of Jack Sparks

"Wow. Seriously hard to put down ... Chilling and utterly immersive."
—M. R. Carey, author of The Girl With All the Gifts on The Last Days of Jack Sparks

"This is one of those books where I'm sad when I'm not reading it. It manages the rare feat of being both horrific and hilarious, which makes me insanely jealous of Arnopp and has me considering how to kill him and consume his mighty power."
—Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author on The Last Days of Jack Sparks

"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 on The Last Days of Jack Sparks

"Funny, creepy and totally nuts."
—Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts on The Last Days of Jack Sparks

Jason arnopp is my favorite author of all time!

Jack sparks and this book had me scared for days and the writing and creativity is outstanding in all of his work. Thank you Arnopp, awaiting for your next work ❤️❤️❤️😘🙏🙏🙏

Fine, but not as good as “The Last Days….”

Better than “The Last Days of Jack Sparks?”It’s not even close in my opinion. As a Stephen King and hardcore Japan Pargin fan, this one is a great effort, but intriguing it ain’t.

It’s not even kind of equal to TLDOJS. I LOVED his other book that I’ve read but I don’t think this one is nearly as clever or as thought out as the other mentioned.

This one builds too slowly to the spooky ending and it is predictable for a hardcore sci-fi/fantasy reader. Worth a read? Sure, for a beginner but your meager credits would be better spent on Joe Hill or Jason Pargin or Jack Townsend or obviously King Stephen Kings stuff.

You can message Kiki Von Mermaid on FB or Instagram and I’ll send you my list of bests and worsts and in-betweens for fantasy and science-fiction and I’ve been listening for a hot minute and I have a good list of the weird and wild and dark and funny. I’ll share with you, my weirdos!! Kisses.

Perfect ghost story

Let yourself go with this one. Neurotic people get haunted. If you enjoyed Last Days of JS, you’ll love this one! Much more clever than LDoJS. H.P. Lovecraft would like this.

Great beginning

Had such potential but then just got weird.. I was really into the beginning and Even parts of the middle but it was hard to follow with and disappointing ending

Just not my type of book.

Read on a recommendation. Doable just not the genre I’m usual pulled toward. But storyline was worth the time spent reading.
