The Theme Park at the End of the World

By: Eric R. Asher

Narrated by: Saskia Maarleveld

Welcome to The Theme Park at the End of the World. Magic thrives here. Anything is possible.

Working at the park was something Ellie and her friend Cole had always wanted to do. Living there was something she had never dreamed of. Now, those vibrant streets and towering rides are part of her everyday life, along with food prepared by some of the finest Fae chefs she’s ever met. Her new home has brought her laughter, a measure of unpredictability, and unexpected friendships. One being with a war-weary Fae. Yet Ellie soon discovers all is not what it seems…

Roman has a dark past and a soft heart. Still, he aims to make the park a haven of wonders for Fae and humans alike. Thanks to him, the evenings belong to the Fae. During those treasured hours, the rides become something more, and those from Faerie bring their own sort of joy.

Ellie must bridge the divide between two worlds when a human inspector arrives at the park. Failing now could place her friends and family in peril. Unmasking the Fae who dwell in The Theme Park at the End of the World would be a loss for all.

Uncover the secrets, thrills, and heartwarming moments that await in this slice-of-life cozy fantasy adventure!

The Theme Park at the End of the World

The Theme Park at the End of the World by Eric R Asher
Fantasy, YA fantasy adventure.
Anything is possible at the Theme Park a the End of the World. Humans visit during the day and the Fae get their turn at night. The rides may look the same but are much more dangerous at night. Prepared foods are created by the finest chefs also with variations between night and day.
Ellie is human and loves everything about her job. She’s able to live at the dorms in the park, and ride with her friend Cole as often as she’s able. As long as it’s before the Fae hours. She wouldn’t survive the night time version.
A human inspector arrives at the park. They cannot let the inspector see any of the magic behind the rides. The scenery and backgrounds must appear to be manmade and the monsters within seen as animatronics and not as the Fae really are. But there is something underhanded with the inspection which puts the whole Theme Park in jeopardy.

What a grand adventure!
Ellie learns more about the Fae and the park than she expects.
Fun Easter egg via the references at the theme park to Asher’s Steamborn series.

Read a second and third time. Loved the audiobook but had more fun visually in my head, with the book. Of course, the map helps make the park come alive.

I heard there may be a second book coming though this was written as a standalone. I can’t wait.
🎧 narration by Saskia Maarleveld who does the Steam books as well for this author. Fantastic rendition that keeps you listening. I do listen at a higher speed for comfortable speaking consistently. 1.5 to 1.7 typically.

I feel in love.

I love the narrator, her voice is awesome. I wasn't sure if I would like this book but I feel in love with this series. Very nice theme, characters that are super interesting. Well written and well read. Thank you Eric.

Ellie's journey as a human among the Fae is heartfelt and immersive, and the theme park setting is wonderfully imaginative, especially the nighttime magic and mouthwatering food descriptions. Saskia’s narration adds charm and emotional depth, making the found-family moments and quieter stakes truly resonate. While there isn’t a sweeping plot, that’s part of the charm; it's about connection, belonging, and everyday magic. This audiobook is comforting, enchanting, and ideal for listeners who enjoy character-driven fantasy with heart.
