À propos de cet audio
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.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"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)
It's not often you get something this funny in horror fiction. At least not without sacrificing the narrative in some way. I have seen some attempts to add comedy but it always feels wrong, as if maybe the author was trying to hard. Jason Arnopp is a natural and his humor seems to blend well with the story giving it that special something to stand out in the genre. I would love to see the authors Google search history while doing research for this book. Jason Arnopp, Please don't tell me this was mostly based on personal experience. I don't want to believe the Death Grip Cult is a real thing!
I think the issues the book presents are so interesting. Let's face the facts, society has a serious addiction. There are studies that suggest the average person Is on their phone six to twelve hours a day. That is a devastating statistic when you think about it. Now, here's something else to consider. If you sleep six to eight hours out of every twenty four hour day then that means the average person is staring at a screen for six to twelve hours of their sixteen hours of awake time. So the question is, what are you supposed to be doing when your staring at your phone? Driving, studying, working, or even parenting. Are you putting others at risk because your distracted by your device? This is the problem the author presents his characters in Ghoster. Can they resist the urge or will they succumb to the addiction in the search to find answers to the mysterious disappearance of Scott?
Ghoster was a tad lengthy at 496 pages but it did go by fairly quickly. I think that readers won't mind terribly especially because the author is constantly spouting hilarious narrative page-after-page. The length of the book might have been longer than desirable but I wonder if the author could achieve the same comic relief in a ghost story by cutting the page count down. I am not sure that he could have. Honestly, I think Jason Arnopp wrote a hell of a good story here and regardless of my quarreling thoughts on length, I can't imagine missing a moment of this reading experience.
I rate Ghoster by Jason Arnopp is 4 / 5 stars. This might be the most fun I've had reading in a long time. The authors unique sense of humor mixed with a suspenseful ghost story makes for an extremely entertaining read. I would absolutely recommend this book for fans of horror fiction that need a good laugh.
A hilarious blend of horror and thriller.
