Sam West's Dreamworld is another novella marketed as extreme horror and centres on a Halloween tour of an abandoned theme park. It's Jim's stag night, he only has one friend so his brothers bought a mate and the four of them embark on a pretty poor excuse for a man's last night of freedom. Instead of a strip club they end up at Dreamworld, with two women and a guide that appears different to all his guests. Dreamworld harbours a reputation of death, freak accidents and horror stories, setting th Sam West's Dreamworld is another novella marketed as extreme horror and centres on a Halloween tour of an abandoned theme park.

Instead of a strip club they end up at Dreamworld, with two women and a guide that appears different to all his guests. Dreamworld harbours a reputation of death, freak accidents and horror stories, setting the scene for what is too come. The guide is named Eric Flu, an anagram of the Prince of darkness and he infects his tour party in different ways. Eric Flu, come on baby, ingenious. Dreamworld contains the usual spelling mistakes of a poorly edited piece of short fiction, extreme horror has to make you cringe even sicken you but it really shouldn't be incredulous. There were scenes that didn't feel right, impossible even and bordered on ridiculous. You see it time and time again, and if it’s a story that’s 60 odd pages, can’t someone please, please reread. Point out the errors before putting it up for release and get a flawless story out no matter the quality, apparently not. Also posted at http://paulnelson.booklikes.com/post/...

I liked this story. It felt like an adult version of a goosebumps story. The death scenes were pretty brutal and fun, but then all of a sudden it seemed to be rushed to the end. Overall three stars, but if the end had been a little bit better it would have been four.

I enjoy reading Sam West's Novellas, and plan to make my way through the lot, eventually. I didn't enjoy this one as much as some of the others, I feel the story could have been a little more fleshed out. The ending left a lot to be desired too.

Really quite a disappointing story compared to the other offerings from Sam West. The story also became confusing in certain parts where the writer got the names of the two girls mixed up for a whole chapter! Proofreader required, I think.
