Luckily, the Publisher could see the error and sent me both Books 1 & 2. Ir would be a grave injustice to the author not to read the first book before reading others. With that said, although Horror stories are not my "cup of tea", Michael Oken has done a very good job in creating this Horror series. It is graphically gory and the action and suspense is non-stop. The story-line is very creative. Although gruesome, it does bring a few interesting points up for discussion. The three points which was most prominent in my mind was: (1) What seems so important when one is young changes, and is often embarrassing as one matures. Yet most of us put so much emphasis on it a the time. (2) When one is put in devastatingly challenging circumstances. one often discovers strengths and ideas he/she would never have realized was possible. (3) When one loses loved ones and a life one feels comfortable in, no monetary means can compensate for that loss. The characters were all very well portrayed and the scenes described fairly well. Some scenes wee so bizarre it was hard to visualize. This would surely be a "hit" if it were made into a movie. I am sure those who enjoy Horror films would anxiously attend it and eagerly await the next one. I offer a Four Stars raring for this Literary work. *This book was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review. "Another true gem of dark fantasy action/adventure by a master of the genre, Michael Okon's "Monsterland Reanimated" is unreservedly recommended for community library Contemporary Fantasy Fiction collections." - Midwest Book Review OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES: ![]() Book Details: Monsterland by Michael Okon Category: YA Fiction (Ages 13-17), 234 pages Publisher: Wordfire Press Release date: October 2017 Tour dates: Feb 3 to Feb 21, 2020 Content Rating: PG-13 + M: There is some violence, blood and gore.
