Publisher's 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)

Amazing yet horrifying

I loved it. It was perfectly grotesque without being all about the gore. It was a perfect balance of story and gore. I loved the characters and how they all stood apart from each other.

Chilling

A beautifully written tale of tragedy and evil. You felt yourself sympathizing with the characters, and I truly enjoyed reading this!

brah

Heinous but fun. willy wonka meets SAW. Even if you like this kinda stuff, it's a rough ride; I recommend it, but I wouldn't blame you if you NDF. Even taking out the Legendary pages 40-45~ it's nauseating.

Fabulously grotesque

I couldn’t stop listening. It was terrible. And wonderful. And so disturbing.
The ending was good!
What do I do with my life now that it’s over…

Horrifyingly excellent

Heed the warning at the beginning if this might trigger you at all!! Favorite part was the alternating between the kids and the parents. There is a long part about incest and poop fantasies all wrapped into one - so reader be warned! Lol

Extremely Graphic

If you love slasher/gore stories then this is the one for you. It’s one of the most graphic and disturbing pieces of literature out there. He uses suck descriptive words that it will leave you cringing. I never thought there were so many different words to refer to body parts 🤨

Overall good

Overall I really liked this book but some of the descriptions were a bit drawn out and some not drawn out enough. The story was well thought out, characters were intriguing, and mostly a very fun and off putting read. Highly recommend if you like gore and uneasiness.
