Seph Lawless’ new book “Bizarro” features abandoned amusement parks around the world. The laughs are long gone and the rides all stand silent, but the allure still exists. The project is personal for Seph, who like many others has fond memories of the thrill of the rides. “I remember like it was yesterday. Going up that first incline. I can still hear the clink, clink, clink of the chains slowly pulling the cars upward. As soon as you reached the top there would be a deafening silence followed by screams and laughter."
