Summary
Once in a lifetime
Three low-income families have been given a handsome retainer to join Geraldine Borden for a day at her cliffside estate. All the parents must do to collect the rest of their money is allow their children to test out the revolutionary playground equipment Geraldine has been working on for decades. But there’s a reason the structures in the bowels of her gothic castle have taken so long to develop—they were never meant to see the light of day.
When a band of dysfunctional children is suddenly thrust into a diabolical realm of violence, they must grow up instantly to have a chance at survival. Will they find a way to put their differences aside, or be swallowed up by the insidious architecture all around them?
"With Playground, Aron Beauregard transcends himself, delivering a genuinely chilling, uncomfortable novel that will make even the most jaded horror fan squirm. A harrowing, relentless read that left me breathless." (Brian Keene)

Disturbing on a whole other level!
This was the best thing I’ve listened to in a long time! The detail and description the author put in makes you feel like you’re right in the room watching it happen which makes it all the more horrifying. Definitely don’t listen if you have a weak stomach but if you’re a little twisted like me you’ll absolutely love it!

Great fun with some vivid scenes.
A delightful tale of playful adventure, sibling rivalry and pushy parents. Truly warmed my heart.
Quite fancy a go on the swings now.

Saw vs Escape Room
My first AB horror book and although in parts I felt sad for the characters I also felt pleased how it was all executed. Would love to see this as an adult animation as there is no way this would be able to make it on the big screen. Great story! Graphic but captivating

Keeps you on the edge of your seat
Absolutely loved this book. it's a great intro into the splatterpunk genre, and it certainly doesn't hold back on the detail. The story is paced well and doesn't reach any points where you feel yourself losing interest in what is about to unfold. It really pulls on every emotion and is well worth the read/listen. Looking forward to exploring more from this author.
