FantasticLand by Mike BockovenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
FantasticLand by Mike Bockoven is a horror/thriller set in a theme park during a hurricane. It has a Lord of the Flies vibe. I enjoyed that the story is told through interviews with the people who were either in the park or involved with the park during the time of the disaster. I know some people might think the premise is too fantastical to suspend disbelief. However, if you have ever been in a major disaster event, you know things can go south very fast even if resources are plentiful. People can split off into factions. Not everyone cares about the greater good. I found the story very engaging and loved the multiple perspectives that help fill in blanks of the overall story. Even a villain believes they are the hero of their own story.... At the same time, I think it would be kind of cool to be locked in a theme park for a few days (under better circumstances!). I should be careful what I wish for.
