A little backstory for you:

Two friends Ben and Lillian along with Lillian's therapist Dr. Wexler decide to check out the new theme park, Ghostland. The theme park has all different kinds of exhibits that include ghosts which are trapped within those exhibits. The park comes with a map of where everything is located and the place is huge.

What a rollercoaster-ride and mixture of many other films and books. Ben an Lillian go to the opening day of ghostland, a funland full of ghosts. When the park was in construction, Ben suffered a heart attack when Rex Garotte's (a horror author presumed death) is moving by his home. Now four years have past. Does this park have some surprises in store for its visitors and Allision, their therapist? (You can bet on that). To me the story suffered from a lack of gripping horror. Okay, there was th ...more

GHOSTLAND, by Duncan Ralston, is a novel that felt like it covered epic proportions with the scope of its idea. In this world of technological advances, it seems that most anything is possible.

The latest? GHOSTLAND--a theme park that utilizes special eyewear to allow visitors to view the various "attractions" showcasing the last moments of actual ghosts.

It felt like Ghostland was a byproduct of Jurassic Park and 13 Ghosts.
I've seen both of those examples in other reviews and I just can't disagree with past reviewers on both of those examples. 🤣😂

Ghosts are real.

If you want to visualise the gorefest that is Ghostland, imagine the ectoplasmic mayhem that would have ensued if Jurassic Park had been populated by ghosts instead of dinosaurs. Featuring such haunts as a prison, an asylum and Garrote House, home of “the Most Terrifying Man in the World”, and 300 ghosts (at the beginning of the book) ranging from former prisoners to an evil sex nun, the promised fun of this amusement park quickly descends into a “concerto of chaos”.

Ghostland by Duncan Ralston is as close to Scooby Doo on an acid trip as you're likely to find. It's also a prime example of what indie authors should aspire to do--not just tell a good story, but do it in a completely innovative way.

Then there are those who have spent their time mastering the craft, who take pride in their work and challenge themselves with every new novel. Kealan Patrick Burke, Jeff Strand, Michaelbrent Collings, Edward Lorn, Michael Patrick Hicks, Max Booth III, Armand Rosamilla, Iain Rob Wright . . . the list goes on and on, all incredible authors who self-publish their work not because it's their ONLY option, but because it's the best option for them at this time.

Well, if you haven't already, make sure Duncan Ralston is added to your list.

I've seen Ghostland compared to Jurassic Park but with ghosts, and it's a ripe comparison. A theme park whose creators have brought together every haunted house and cursed object they could find, yet set behind a "recurrence field" which keeps these spirits from doing more than being observed (with your special augmented reality goggles, of course). It's a killer idea that's expanded upon with just enough science to balance things out without ever losing its focus on entertaining the hell out of you.

The set up is perfect, with our lead male actually dying in the book's opening pages (not a spoiler, as it's in the book's description). He's brought back, but through the process loses his friendship with the one girl he connected with. It's the relationship of these two that really brings heart to this story as they must work out not just their feelings, but guilt and fears over the course of the novel. All while trying to survive, of course.

Now this is a horror enthusiast's horror novel, and Ralston quickly goes for the jugular. When the gloves come off, they don't fall to the ground. They rise up and strike you in the face, then try to jam their way down your throat, choking you in the process. The blood and mayhem reign supreme in Ghostland, and while I generally prefer a more gradual descent into madness, Ralston uses another mechanism to keep things ratcheting up throughout the story, and this is where things get interesting.

Because it's all about the ghosts.

Ralston takes his mythology serious, building an incredible backstory for not only the big baddie of the novel--Rex Garrote (a horror author himself)--but every ghost you encounter along the way. Like walking through a zoo, each ghost has its own entry in a "ghost index" which you can cross reference, should you choose to, which expands upon the the ghastly history of each haunted spirit. Like a video game where every level you beat leads to just a tougher boss, each time you think you've experienced as far as you're going to go in this novel, Ralston proves he can take you one step further. My favorite creation was the Behemoth, but there are loads of nasty fun to be explored along the way.

The pay offs are well earned, and I suspect there's a lot more to be explored within this world of Ralston's creating. And as far as theme parks go, this will be one you'll want to visit more than once. ...more

There is a tendency in our popular culture to try and mask the redoing of something by putting it inside a shiny new box that ultimately ends up feeling mostly contrived and ineffective.

No thanks.

So whenever I hear of a concept where the thrust seems to be, “let’s take this previously successful idea and… But wait! Wait until you see this crazy twist on it.” I tend to be a bit skeptical.

Perhaps it’s because I happen to know how much disdain Duncan Ralston feels for Jurassic Park that I was willing to be more open minded with this one. It likely has much more to do with the fact that I know how good of an author he is and that he’s not the type to simply go for a cheap gimmick or trick in order to put a book together. Ghostland is a book that follows the same basic premise of Jurassic Park, an amusement park gone horribly and dangerously wrong. But unlike the towering dinosaurs of old, we are treated to a park overrun by the paranormal.

I had an opportunity to read this book in the earlier stages of its development, for the chance to provide some input and I have to say that even then, I found a lot of originality and a great spark of creativity behind the central drive of the plot.

One hinge in particular that I was taken with was the technicality of the writing. You don’t hear me talking about him as much but one of my favorite authors from high school and even college was Michael Crichton, again back to Jurassic Park. But for as successful as that was (and that was my introduction to him), for me my interests went well beyond that book. I loved and appreciated how he was able to incorporate scientific and intellectual details into a story without making it feel forced, while keeping the plot engaging and captivating.

And he could have been getting his details completely wrong. But the point is taking a subject matter that might be dry and making it enjoyable to read.

This brings us back to Ghostland. And as with Jurassic Park, we are dealing with science and technology that does not exist. Still, Ralston approaches it head on in such fashion that it’s impossible to not take it seriously. He lends it a legitimacy that makes you forget that such things cannot really happen.

They can’t, right?

Summary

Ben and Lilan each have their own reasons for visiting Ghostland on opening day. The fact that they've barely spoken over the last 4 years and Lilian's therapist joining them puts an awkward start to their day.
The park, and the ghosts inside, have other plans for opening day that involve an unexpected virus, many deaths and complete chaos.
Ben and Lilian are about to find out that there is nothing fun or amusing when it comes to the dead.

To be fair, my previous experience with the author has been in shorter forms, he does a good novella and a decent, albeit somewhat sow, novel. But this was his epic baby, swimming in the epic amounts of bathwater. This was a grand project and as these things do, it hinged upon a grand concept. Imagine a giant interactive amusement park, but with…ghosts. That’s right. Through some questionable new technology, a scientist manages to bring ghosts to a semblance of life, sufficient life to haunt the crap out of those brave enough to set foot into such an attraction. Among those brave foot setters are a pair of our protagonists, two eighteen year old kids, former best friends, trying to possible rekindle the connection through this extreme experience. Wouldn’t you know it, things go horribly wrong almost from the start and the entire thing turns into one elaborate prolonged survival scenario. It stands to mention that although the two leads are teens, this isn’t really a YA story, nor (the author swears) was it intended as one. This is meant to be more a coming of age thing and sure, it was, but for me the characters were still too young to properly engage with. And there was no one in the extended (mostly death bound) cast to especially care about either. It just didn’t seem like that kind of story. There were things Ralston got right…he went very imaginative with the exhibits and ghosts themselves (he gave each one a backstory, which was just charming), he got creative with death sequences and the main evil mastermind behind it all was interesting, if over the top. But overall the book wasn’t quite for me…too gore and guts splattered, too action driven, too loud somehow. And the digital aspect of the Ghostland’s creation just didn’t quite thrill…too modern of a concept for something as timeless as ghosts. In tone, energy, delivery, sophistication of writing and some of the themes it was almost like a very violent very graphic (advanced maybe) YA story. I’m not sure. Maybe it was just too long for what it was. I bet it’d be a fun novella or a more moderately sized novel. Plenty entertaining, mind you, especially if you’re in a mood for this sort of thing, but nothing really exceptional. Or, unlike the main concept of the plot, not revolutionary in any way. Fun read and went by quickly enough, considering the size. Bet it would make a really awesome or at least awesomely cheesy movie, though, if done right. The special effects alone. ...more

Duncan Ralston decided to go big with his latest release, ‘Ghostland.’ Following a promotional campaign that may be the best single campaign for a book launch I’ve ever seen – indie and traditional, I can resoundingly say that ‘Ghostland’ absolutely delivers.

The build-up for this book was palpable. Starting with some blog posts about an author who Ralston remembered reading when he was younger, who nobody else appeared to know. Then a Wikipedia page was found – Rex Garrote, this seemingly lost to history author had resurfaced.

All of this leads into the final details of Rex’s life being discovered. After self-immolation, his final wishes were for the world’s largest park dedicated too and featuring ghost’s to be created in his name.

The book opens up introducing us to teen friends Ben and Lilian. They love to online game together and as they are playing, Lilian notices a strange occurrence outside her window. Ralston gives us an emotional opening that really helped me connect to these two characters.

We then get a short jump ahead in time, some details get filled in, but everything leads down one path – opening day at ‘Ghostland.’ Ben and Lilian, now not the best of friends they used to be, meet up, with Lilian’s therapist, Allison in tow.

From here, Ralston really delivers the core concept of Jurassic Park but with Ghosts.

We get the details of the science behind how the park works and operates as well as a few new characters get added into the mix. At one point, I even found myself equating certain characters with specific Jurassic Park characters in the hopes that I’d get a sneak peek at how things might play out.

I think two things with this story really make it stand above a lot of the other ghostly tales that get put out.

The first is clear immediately – on the Kindle version of this, Duncan has made an interactive Ghostland experience. Whenever the characters arrived at a new attraction or specific feature, the book would have an underlined number. By pressing on the number the history/back story of that particular thing would pop up. I’d then read it and close it and continue on my way. Not completely sure how this will work with the physical stuff, but the digital version – this was fantastic.

The second is the level of attachment Ralston created to his characters. I didn’t want anything bad to happen to Lilian or Ben and even grew to want to protect Allison.

When the ending rolls around and Ralston brings it all together, I was so impressed. Just a stunning work of art.

The entire package along, from early promo to the book to the interactive feature – staggering. Ralston really went above and beyond with this release and I think this will be one that many people will be talking about for years to come. ...more

In short - It felt a lot like Jurassic Park with Ghosts instead of Dinos, and I am ok with that. It was a clever ghost story wrapped up in a way that I had not considered before, and I thought it was very well written. I look forward to reading the next installment.
