Fiction. Horror. Mystery. Thriller. HTML:Since the 1970s, FantasticLand has been the theme park where â??Fun is Guaranteed!" But when a hurricane ravages the Florida coast and isolates the park, the employees find it anything but fun. Five weeks later, the authorities who rescue the survivors encounter a scene of horror. Photos soon emerge online of heads on spikes outside of rides and viscera and human bones littering the gift shops, breaking records for hits, views, likes, clicks, and shares. How could a group of survivors, mostly teenagers, commit such terrible acts?
Presented as a fact-finding investigation and a series of first-person interviews, FantasticLand pieces together the grisly series of events. Park policy was that the mostly college-aged employees surrender their electronic devices to preserve the authenticity of the FantasticLand experience. Cut off from the world and left on their own, the teenagers soon form rival tribes who viciously compete for food, medicine, social dominance, and even human flesh. This new social network divides the ravaged dreamland into territories ruled by the Pirates, the ShopGirls, the Freaks, and the Mole People. If meticulously curated online personas can replace private identities, what takes over when those constructs are lost?
FantasticLand is a modern take on Lord of the Flies meets Battle Royale that probes the consequences of a social civilization built online.

The interview-style of this book made it so much more interesting. I enjoy how realistic it made the book with multiple points of view and human-error when it comes to recall of events. What made this a truly fantastic horror book is that there was nothing that was out of the realm of possibilities. Yeah the timeline and speed of escalation felt a bit unrealistic but I think good theoretical explanations are provided. ( )

This book was not what I expected. I did not realize it was done interview style. That can go either way, so I wasn't even sure I would like it in the beginning. The narrators carried this book! That is not to say that the author did not write a good story. It comes across differently when you HEAR the emotions reliving their ordeal evokes. This book was told from multiple povs, but it was not confusing as it sometimes happens. Everyone had a different experience, and the listener relived it with them. This was a good book, I just recommend the auiobook as it changes the experience. ( )

overall pretty good! i liked the format of having interviews from a variety of people, but the actual plot of tribes just killing each other didn’t draw me in too much.

I loved this book. It was gripping and I couldn't put it down. The only thing I didn't like was the phones are social media stuff which felt out of place. Overall, I recommend to anyone looking for a good thriller. ( )
