Joaquin is the host of a late-night radio show where callers discuss frightening supernatural experiences. Crazy shit starts happening to him.Throughout the first half of this book I was planning to give it four stars despite not liking the self-centered, pretentious, spoiled characters, because it was fairly original and moved along quickly. But then the last third pretty much fell apart. I suspect the problem with the book is that the author wanted to write a work of speculative fiction along the lines of [b:Three Days to Never|209688|Three Days to Never|Tim Powers|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1172704947s/209688.jpg|1946911] or [b:The Raw Shark Texts|144800|The Raw Shark Texts|Steven Hall|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327868397s/144800.jpg|938197], but lacked the intellectual precision. In those books the reader has to actually exert a little mental energy to grapple with the ideas being utilized; in Ghost Radio the ideas are so fuzzy that they actually encourage skimming along. It's like spec fic for lazy people.
