March 5, 2022I really love this anthology. The thought of a futuristic theme park that might have been sparked my imagination, and the actual stories live up to the theme of the book. I think it's because the futuristic rides at the New York World's fair had such a profound effect on me. This book seemed to echo the magic I felt at that time that has reverberated through my entire life. I'd highly recommend this book for fans of retro-future Sci Fi.

I don't understand how this book only has like four reviews. It's a brilliant, interconnected collection of sci-fi horror about a fictional theme park. And it's incredible.

Criminally underrated, I can't believe this one isn't more widely known. Top notch horror and sci-fi.
