Publisher's summary
From the twisted and imaginative mind of Mike Bockoven, author of the cult classic FANTASTICLAND, comes a wholly original and witty new novel of terror, perfect for fans of FROM DUSK TIL DAWN and SHAUN OF THE DEAD.
Since the late 1980's, The Square had been one of the most important clubs in New York for the alt-comedy scene. But before that it was something much darker and is now a place where evil lingers, waiting for a chance to spill blood.
After a night of killing on stage, four comics find themselves in a desperate situation as the spirits of the past come out to play, and a fight for laughs becomes a fight for survival in the most unlikely of places.

Story
They were madly in love. The perfect couple. That was the story everyone in South River believed...until Gin Talcott and Adam Archer are found shot in their bed. Adam is dead at the scene. Gin is fighting for her life. Detectives Greta Jessup and Finn Pate are assigned to the case. Greta has a long history with Gin’s first husband, Eddie, and is determined to protect his 18-year-old twins. Piper discovered the bodies. Daniel is missing—and so is Adam’s gun.

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

It sounded so perfect—a month's assignment at the lush Scottish Highlands property of architect Alban McGregor, and his wife, Jessica. But in the woods, there's a playhouse with a chilling history. Two years ago, the McGregors' daughter Elodie was abducted and then died in that playhouse. The townspeople insist her abductor had to be a stranger in their town. Alban refuses to knock the playhouse down, even keeping a picture of it on his wall.

Buckhead isn’t a place you live, it’s a place you survive. And that applies even to the wealthy housewives that have it all. Fancy cars, designer clothes, and daily salon appointments aren’t nearly enough to keep them fulfilled and happy. Because in this town, privilege and opulence go hand in hand with betrayal and revenge. Jenny, the owner of Glow, an exclusive membership-only beauty salon, knows that better than anyone, because she knows everything about these housewives—down to each individual strand of hair.

Ana and Reid needed a lucky break. The horrifically complicated birth of their first child has left Ana paralyzed, bitter, and struggling: with mobility, with her relationship with Reid, with resentment for her baby. That's about to change with the words any New Yorker would love to hear—affordable housing lottery. They've won an apartment in the Deptford, one of Manhattan's most revered buildings. Reid dismisses disturbing events and Ana’s deep unease and paranoia as the price of living in New York—people are odd—but he can't explain the needle-like bite marks on the baby.

Story
In June 1993, a group of young guerilla filmmakers spent four weeks making Horror Movie, a notorious, disturbing art-house horror flick. The weird part? Only three of the film’s scenes were ever released to the public, but Horror Movie has nevertheless grown a rabid fanbase. Three decades later, Hollywood is pushing for a big budget reboot. The man who played “The Thin Kid” is the only surviving cast member. He remembers all too well the secrets buried within the original screenplay, the bizarre events of the filming, and the dangerous crossed lines on set that resulted in tragedy.

Lying northeast of Massachusetts, just south of Hell, Arkham County is somewhere you find yourself, not somewhere you ever mean to go. Once you do find it though, you'd better get used to living there, as you may be there for however long you have left to live.

Story
Aaron Fortin is new in town. He drives a brand-new Acura—a gift from his parents for uprooting him in the middle of senior year. Showing up on his first day at the local public school in that nice of a car? He knows he’ll never blend in, and he doesn’t care to try. The car, the new-kid mystique, he can use all that.... Crystal Giordano carpools to the same school in her friend Trevor’s beat-up van. In the van along with Crystal and Trevor are Paul, Harmony, and Gayle. Crystal’s technically part of their misfit group, but most of the time, she feels like she’s the only one who doesn’t fit.

Story
Three low-income families have been given a handsome retainer to join Geraldine Borden for a day at her cliffside estate. All the parents must do to collect the rest of their money is allow their children to test out the revolutionary playground equipment Geraldine has been working on for decades. But there’s a reason the structures in the bowels of her gothic castle have taken so long to develop—they were never meant to see the light of day.

Story Just Doesn’t Make It
This wasn’t what I was hoping for from Bockoven. The story wasn’t tight, and none of the characters were compelling. Just a meh ghost story that doesn’t really go anywhere. Leaving a review to boost Bockoven through because I’ll read anything he writes after Fantasticaland.

Good tale in a unexpected environment
This book takes place in a comedy club and I enjoyed how the comics were these damaged and mostly likable people in a doozy of a situation. There were some interesting little comedy club/open mike insider information sprinkled in the story that was cool to learn. I liked this book and the narration was nicely done.

Enjoyable but just okay.
My expectations were high because of how much I love Fantasticland. This isn't that. it's decent. fast-paced, bloody and fun, but it lacks a strong message.
I'd group it with novels like Horrorstor and the Troop. it's a bit pulpy but fans of those novels will enjoy it.

Okay, but a bit of a letdown
Honestly, I'm giving it a 4/5 partly because I don't like to give authors that I enjoy lower. with that said, I really was hoping for more from this. I loved Fantasticland and had reasonably high hopes for this. The premise was interesting, and it seemed like a fun slasher. It just wasn't very good.
The first major gripe is the pacing. I HATE when shows do flashback or callback episodes in the middle of the action or near the end of the season. This entire book is like that. one step forward, two steps back. something exciting is about to happen and the next chapter cuts to another character, 20 mins early. Rinse and repeat. The first half even delves into back stories, which is sort of okay but still kills the momentum of the book and the action. I wish there was a straightforward version that was half as long but tighter.
Second is the humor. I loved the performance of the narrator but I'm not sure if he has bad comedic timing or the jokes are really that bad. There seems to be a strong reverence for the biggest and more important names in stand up comedy without really understanding how to craft or tell jokes. In that way, it reflects the club owner that always wanted to be around comedy but could never make it as a comedian. Almost ironic.
It seems like the point was trying to make a feminist point about comedy and female comedians, but it felt more like pandering than anything else. I don't want to dig too far into that, but it felt kind of shallow and off putting.
There are some fun moments or gore and violence and the premise and "villain" are interesting, but it was slow for being such a fast-paced concept and not as funny as it may be could have been. But, like taste in books, humor is subjective. Maybe worth a listen for some. If it's your first time reading his work, I'd start with Fantasticland instead.

Violent and funny.
I’ve listened to every Mike bockoven published so far. While pack remains my favorite I have no bad words to say about killing it. As funny as it is violent and dark. Definitely worth a listen. This is Rad!

Fantastic
So far, I have absolutely enjoyed everything this guy has written. I highly recommend his other two audio books as well. I hope to hear a sequel to the werewolf one someday.

Far fall from Fantasticland
Fantasticland was so clever, captivating and creative, it’s easy to understand that it will be a difficult book for Bockoven to top, but this book was so disappointing it’s hard to believe the same author even wrote it. Why a comedy bar when he so obviously isn’t a comedian?? I didn’t laugh once throughout the entire book. The narrator was horrible, the jokes weren’t funny, the “humor” was painful to listen to. I was so looking forward to this book. I’ll definitely wait a while and actually consider the reviews before I use a credit on his next book.

A struggle to get through.
OMG, this book tries so hard to be funny but fails miserably. I want to love it since I love the author's other books. In the end, I stopped listening.
