Publisher's summary

People are dying to get in. The ghosts will kill to get out.

Discover and explore hundreds of haunted buildings and cursed objects! Witness spectral beings of all kinds with our patented Augmented Reality glasses! Experience all the terror and thrills the afterlife has to offer, safely protected by our Recurrence Field technology! Visit Ghostland today - it's the hauntedest place on earth!

After a near-death experience caused by the park's star haunted attraction, Ben has come to Ghostland seeking to reconnect with his former best friend Lilian, whose post-traumatic stress won't let her live life to the fullest. She's come at the insistence of her therapist, Dr. Allison Wexler, who tags along out of professional curiosity, eager to study the new tech's psychological effect on the user.

But when a computer virus sets the ghosts free and the park goes into lockdown, the trio find themselves trapped in an endless nightmare.

With time running short and the dead quickly outnumbering the living, the survivors must tap into their knowledge of horror and video games to escape...or become Ghostland's newest exhibits.

Killer story!

What a ride! Take 13 ghosts but make it way more interesting. Loved the whole story, can’t wait to start the prequel!

A great start to the trilogy!

The premise and setting of this story intrigued me from the jump, and what followed did not disappoint! Like an R rated Goosebumps mixed with West World with evil ghosts. This one is a ton of fun

Just Okay

I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. It was just okay. I didn't feel connected to any of the characters nor the town. The narrator didn't really give me what I needed, he was just okay. Not sure if I will read the next book.

A bit disjointed but entertaining

Overall, I'd say it was an entertaining listen. I'd characterize the feel as a gory young adult book. However, the flow of the book was jerky with abrupt shifts. Avoiding spoilers ahead, so be prepared for some vagueness. For example, one of the characters starts off with one attitude and very abruptly does a 180. Perhaps intended, it feels like a video game where you're watching someone play a level, then they get through and progress to the next level which has a different location, challenge to overcome and boss to defeat. I'm likely to continue with the second book in the series (don't bother with the prequel - it's super short and doesn't add anything interesting, more like a flashback cutscene) but I'm not rushing into it like I have with other books. Joe Hempel is great as always, with the occasional odd pronunciation that he's kind of known for.

Great Story Check , Horror check , A movie uncheck

I've been searching for a good ghost story recently non of the most of the audible out here are any good , but "Ghostland" wins my vote , it has interesting characters, Horror at maximum, could use some twists and more suspense but overall great experience. It got some similarities with ghost movies like 13th ghosts and others " Don't want to spoil it" and enjoyed it . It could have the narration to be more how to say it" more imitative" to the characters voices or panicked voices but nonetheless he did a good job. looking forward for the rest of the books and hopefully one day a good movie with James Wan directing it .

Loved it!! A must read/listen to book.

I loved this book! Characters are so well developed. It’s a whole new take on ghosts! And almost right away there is an unexpected shock. Love it when books suck me in from the very start. You must right a continuance (or have you already?). I read a lot of “end of the world “ books and may I say apocalypse by ghosts (Ghost Apocalypse sounds better lol) is brilliant! Oh and that line about “shaving an asshole and putting him in a uniform” cracked my up! 5 ✨ narrator does a great job also!!

Pretty cool concept, but very flat

The concept and idea of the story is very interesting, never thought about a ghost amusement park. But the story itself was dry and very flat level. There’s no depth to the characters, the story is very straight forward. The idea was fantastic, but the execution was not it. I probably won’t be listening to the series. But I still love the story idea.
