“This is a book that I started writing in lockdown, when I got really obsessed with videos of animatronics malfunctioning, and rides which no longer exist and have been largely forgotten…I’m not actually a massive theme park person…A young woman who’s worked at a park that she adores, alongside her seemingly perfect boyfriend, finds herself tasked with shutting the park down after a grisly death took place. And as she does this, grieving the loss of this whimsical land that she called home, she starts to notice people who shouldn’t be there, and strange things happening underneath her feet…t’s an ode to what theme parks and any kind of hyper-curated space can do to a person, because I love what they do to a person.” Read more...
