    Reviews
    "In clear, conversational prose, Fantasticland creates its world--and then carefully, horribly dismantles it. Mike Bockoven has made something at once merciless, terrifying, and curiously humane; but you should probably not go there after dark." Zack Handlen, the AV Club

    "Utterly horrifying and impossible to put down for a dozen reasons, but most of all, for how plausible the whole thing feels. Do not read this book after eating." Rob Hart, author of the Anthony Award-nominated NEW YORKED

    "Fantasticland is one wild ride! Disaster and isolation ratchet up the tension, and a theme park descends into mayhem that is both engaging and thrilling. Put your hands up and plunge in!" Scott Seeke, author of Uncle Bush's Live Funeral, writer of the Sony film Get Low

    "In the FantasticLand park itself, already a surreal mix of historical and pop-cultural structures, characters, and imagery, then mostly flooded and empty under rainy skies, what happens when less-than-fully-formed identities are forced to endure a month with no external contact?
    This grim, but not hopeless, novel is the answer." William Grabowski, Hellnotes.com

    "FantasticLand [is] totally up our alley. And with its setting of a theme park that's been ravaged by a hurricane, it couldn't be more timely." Dread Central

    Absolutely Fantastic

    This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

    My favourite pick for manga

    Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

    Great as always

    Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
