Playground

De: Aron Beauregard

Narrado por: Lila Kerry

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)

Excellent for me, but….

Anyone who likes/loves twisted, gross, general or slaughter house horror, you will likely enjoy. (There are some parts, however, that are still hard to listen to.) HOWEVER, those with fragile mental health, a history of ANY KIND OF ABUSE, and/or a weak stomach DO NOT READ THIS! Seriously, I’m in the mental health field and I can see this book putting a person into having a flashback, dissociative state, or prompting a substance abuse relapse.

Should make this a movie

I love all horror but this one was a hard one to listen to but it was sooo good

It is what it is

if you couldn't tell what you were getting into by the covet or synopsis, then the shock is on you. really only enjoyed hating a character or two, didn't really like anyone. I suspect that was intended.

Long and boring

This book was pretty boring and a bit too long. There were some interesting parts throughout the book but a lot of dragged out boring parts as well.

Bitter sweet ending

There were about 2 chapters in the beginning that were disgusting and related to SA. I feel the story would have been fine without them. Almost couldn’t get past them but I skipped ahead those parts.

This book reminded me of Saw but with children in a playground. Did find myself tearing up at 2 points towards the end.
