Welcome to Monsterland, the scariest place on earth.
When world markets are decimated by a crippling plague, philanthropist, and billionaire businessman, Vincent Konrad decides to place monsters in a theme park setting to promote education and tolerance. Copper Valley is chosen as the primary site for the park in the United States.
Wyatt Baldwin, a high school senior is dying to go to the opening and when he lands special passes to the park, he and his friends are expecting the experience of a lifetime.
After all, in a theme park where real zombies, werewolves, and vampires are the main attractions, what could possibly go wrong?
I wrote a book called Monsterland. It’s about a teen that must save his date in a theme park, whose main attractions – real werewolves, vampires, and zombies – descend the place into chaos. The opening of the book is seen through the eyes by Billy, a human, well sort of human. Billy is a werewolf living in the Everglades with seven others like him. They hunt for food during the day and relax at night. The werewolves have a pretty decent life, they live away from society and don’t bother anyone. The Everglades are so remote, no person knows they actually live there. Until one day, Dr. Vincent Konrad and his cohorts invade Billy’s territory and hunt them down. You would think a werewolf would rip them to shreds. Not my werewolves. They hunters pursue them in a chase through the Everglades, picking off one werewolf after the next. The final werewolf to succumb to the humans is Billy, who will be put on lavish display at Vincent’s theme park Monsterland.
Vampires have lived among us for eons, but it wasn’t until their numbers dwindled that Congress passed a law to ensure they cannot recruit new members. In order to become a vampire, you have intercourse with one. A bite doesn’t do it, a bite simply keeps them satiated and you sedated while you follow them. Should vampires be allowed to live among humans? Again, Congress has to decided what is best for the safety of everyone.
Finally, we have the vitality-challenged, er, zombies. Poor zombies. The disease ravaged their brain so badly that all they want to do is eat meat. Doesn’t matter what type of meat, they just have to eat, eat, eat. What would you do with these poor creatures? Hunt them? Kill them? They should have rights too, don’t you think?
Should monster’s have the same rights as humans? If we hunt monsters, should we be allowed to carry a permit? Should there be designated areas of monster hunting allowed in the States? These questions should be answered before we actually talk about capturing a monster. The law is, there is no law to hunt a monster – and there should be. Monsters have rights. They’re human just like us, with a bit of a disadvantage.
