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)

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

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.

AMAZING READ
This book was very good. I 100% recommend it if you love horror. Although sad at times it’s a great read and was very thrilling.

Disturbing but well written
Even with aphantasia, I have way too much imagination for some of the scenes, but characters in the book are very well written, and they are bound to stay on your mind for a time to come.

excellent splutterpunk
This was definitely my nastiest book i read so far, was duly heaving at the infamous "page 40"...
I really loved the adults' scenes, wished for more with the parents; the kids were grand too though i found the playground itself a bit long and repetitive after a while and lost my attention a bit.
Well written and definitely not for the faint of heart. Also outstanding narration.
