"I love this book. With writing that feels halfway to mysticism, like a blurting, flowing down from a mystic who also happens to be incredibly funny. This book squints in the bright light of reality and moves with the tidal pull of how we are haunted and how we haunt ourselves, what washes up and gets in our way, restricts our movements (or creates how we dance around what is disconcerting or inexplicable to us). It's exciting, dry, and bright in its humor and unlike any literary voice I've ever read."
--Jenny Slate, author of Lifeform and Little Weirds

"Super Castle Fun Park is a refreshing and innovative novel that defies categorization. Weaving multiple perspectives and toggling between the IRL and URL, Zomparelli paints a picture of modern life that is bleak, moving, scary, and darkly funny--often all within the same sentence. The connective tissue between all of it is the desire to connect and evade loneliness. It's a deeply human and original work and, like all great art, it made me feel less alone."
--Ryan O'Connell, author of Just by Looking at Him and Inspiration Porn

"A beautiful, strange rollercoaster of humanity's interconnectedness, this gem of a book changed the way that I think about caregiving, loss, mental health, and the everyday ghosts that follow each of us."
--Ramona Flores, White Whale Bookstore

"This is one I could unpack for ages. I absolutely love it and plan to sell it to anyone who will take the journey!"
