I-dunno-what-I-just-read-but-I'm-pretty-sure-I-loved-it stars for the audiobook version narrated by all-stars Luke Daniels and Angela Dawe. The former head of the Red Cross branch actually points out that this is not uncommon but the media prefers the horror stories coming out of FantasticLand. also, the warthogs, which are the absolute coolest pair in the book and were very wisely left mysterious, so their chilling ways were much more effective. There’s the Fairy Prairie, the Golden Road, the World’s Circus, the Hero Haven, Fantastic Future World, and the Pirate Cove. As interesting as I found the story, I also found it confusing and hard to keep up with who was who.

Then Flynn was killed while the power in the shelter went out and everyone became convinced he did the deed. They all apparently got a deal from the prosecutor partly due to the circumstances surrounding the case. This whole Found Footage or Podcast or "Reality" or Mockumentary style of horror writing has been done to death already. The author does his best Lord of the Flies homage here by having the stranded employees form their own "gangs" (i. Unreliable Narrator: As typical of eyewitness accounts, which can be very unreliable, the interviewed employees give conflicting versions of some events and can only speculate about things they didn't actually witness themselves.

One of the scariest scenes in this book didn't even have any violence at all - it involved a cat and mouse game in an abandoned hotel and it was something right out of Stephen King. Almost none of them believed it but one employee confirms their existence and they killed at least three people. As he points out in his interview, the one is merely a petty asshole, the other is really, truly dangerous.

While the National Guard, local authorities and all humanitarian efforts were focused on the coastal regions, 326 employees of FantasticLand were left to their own devices.When the National Guard finally came, he had been hiding in an office and didn't leave for two straight weeks. I've just read the whole description on the Goodreads page, and I think the idea of this being a novel which 'probes the consequences of a social civilisation built online' is overemphasised. This is the second audiobook I’ve listened to where a fictional story is told through a series of interviews.

Told in interview form- it details the horrific events that happened at the amusement park after the area is devastated by a horrific storm.Presented as a fact-finding investigation and a series of first-person interviews, FantasticLand pieces together the grisly series of events. Most of the employees who work for the park are college students with some just out of high school and referred to by the few older employees as "kids". I'm aware of World War Z, which I would consider, but I'm just not really interested in zombies; and I've read Six Stories, which presents its story through transcripts of a fictional podcast. Park policy was that the mostly college-aged employees surrender their electronic devices to preserve the authenticity of the FantasticLand experience. After the hurricane, detectives and others who make it to the survivors more than a month later discover a scene out of a nightmare.
