Delphi has increasingly surreal experiences as the park slowly winds down its operations and begins to doubt her reality. ## Structure and style The book incorporates horror and surreal elements,[1] and was inspired by "the psychology of theme parks and animatronics."[2] The primary plot is interwoven with epistolary chapters describing a pair of siblings' relationship to each other and the amusement park.[3][4] ## Reception The book received praise for its prose and uncanny atmosphere, but was criticized for having a confusing plot and being difficult for readers to connect with.[3][4] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Arianna Reiche and C.J.
