⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Duncan Ralston’s Ghostland effectively merges the thrill of survival horror with the anxieties surrounding augmented reality. The premise of a safe, simulated haunted park turning lethal due to a viral glitch provides a fresh take on the 'trapped in a nightmare' trope. The narrative excels in its exploration of how knowledge of horror tropes can serve as a tool for survival against spectral threats. This approach suits readers who appreciate intelligent protagonists navigating complex technological dangers. While it may not appeal to those seeking traditional gothic atmospheres devoid of modern tech, it successfully delivers a tense, concept-driven experience that questions the nature of reality and trauma.
