Welcome to Monsterland, the scariest place on earth.
When world markets are decimated by a crippling plague, philanthropist and billionaire businessman Vincent Konrad decides to place monsters in a theme park setting to promote education and tolerance. Copper Valley is chosen as the primary site for the park in the United States. Wyatt Baldwin, a high school senior is dying to go to the opening and when he lands special passes to the park, he and his friends are expecting the experience of a lifetime. After all, in a theme park where real zombies, werewolves, and vampires are the main attractions, what could possibly go wrong?

Great concept! I was expecting a less intense story, but instead got evil plans and carnage—and I'm not disappointed. Take Jurassic Park and replace the genetically created dinosaurs with zombies, vampires, and werewolves, and John Hammond with Vincent Konrad, and you've got Monsterland. Ian Malcolm comes to mind when he tells Hammond, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." Yeah, that quote applies to Konrad's Monsterland as well.
It took a while to set the story up, and the action didn't get started until well into the second half, but once the characters get to Monsterland for the grand opening, the pace moves quickly with lots of twists. The eclectic group of characters kept the story interesting. I especially enjoyed the back and forth between Wyatt and his friends about their favorite monsters and which would prevail in certain situations. Read this collection if:
