I adored this book. As an amusement park lover, I couldn’t have asked for a better setting than Hillier’s aging seaside Wonderland—moldering and tacky on the outside, proving darker and more disturbing with every layer you peel away. Deputy chief Van ...more

“With Colleen’s passing, something fractured inside of Simon. Something like a bone—a part of him that, even if it managed to heal, would always bear evidence of its imperfection. A tiny part of him that would always be broken.”
Luke Dumas, The Paleontologist

“He had understood that, like the site of a nuclear tragedy, the place was uninhabitable for him now.”
Luke Dumas, The Paleontologist

“Editor’s Note Exhibit F Further case notes prepared by Kathleen Prichard, mental health counselor at HMP Edinburgh. 17 October 2017 Today patient disclosed past mental health struggles, namely a three-year bout of what he calls “satanophobia,â€� i.e., extreme fear of the Devil coupled with persecutory delusions that the Devil is “after him,â€� visual hallucinations of winged creatures (“fiendsâ€�), feelings of hopelessness, and suicidal ideations. Multiple times patient mentioned having felt, at the onset of and throughout his condition, that there lay inside of him a kind of darkness, or evil, that attracted the Devil like a magnet. Patient could not describe this “darknessâ€� further. Unclear what it could represent. Possible manifestation of some form of unconscious repression, perhaps as the result of patient’s religious upbringing? Will continue to explore in future sessions but will need to tread carefully.”
