By Michael Okon
10. I came up with idea of Monsterland while watching an 80s & 90s movie marathon one weekend with my son.
9. I called my brother immediately and told him I want to write a story about a theme park with zombies. He told me no, the theme park has to have werewolves, vampires AND zombies. I started beating out the story that night.
8. It took me a little over three weeks to complete Monsterland.
7. I self-published Monsterland in 2015 and it became a best-seller on Amazon.
6. Within two years of self-publishing, I got a literary agent, an entertainment attorney, a film agent, a publicist, a two-book publishing deal, and film interest from a well-known producer.
5. Monsterland went from being an indie book in 2015 to the number one pre-ordered book in Teen & Young Adult Zombie Fiction on Amazon in 2017.
4. My brother designed the cover with an artist.

My Review

I really enjoyed the first installment from Michael Okon’s Monsterland series, also, called Monsterland. So, I was excited to get my hands on the following up to it, Monsterland Reanimated. I highly recommend for readers to begin the series from the beginning so they can get a better grasp with what is going on. I do not think it would work well as a stand alone. 

Monsterland Renanimated continues with high school Wyatt Baldwin trying to save the world from the monsters. I once again had to strap myself down to enjoy this wild thrill of a tale. It is action packed with a few twists and turns I did not expect or did not see coming. This time around he encounters more than he thought possible. He goes on quite the adventure to try to find help and his journey brings on more horror. Behemoths and The Glob are the last things he wanted to deal with right now. After reading the first book, I learned the author’s writing style and was able to read this one in just a few hours. I thought it was better and more entertaining, if that is possible. 

Monsterland Reanimated is getting five plus stars from me. I was excited to find out that there will be a third addition to the Monsterland series. I look forward to when that one releases to see what will happen next. I recommend this one for readers who enjoy science fiction and stories that involve fictional monsters. 

I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
