Publisher Description
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)

Customer Reviews
Not for the faint of heart
This was my first dive into this sub-genre, and boy howdy was it a massive cannonball. I’m certainly no stranger to the vile and obscene aspects of horror media, but this book tested limits I didn’t know I had. The detailed descriptions of such brutality and gore was deeply upsetting, but the ever evolving story, partnered with morbid curiosity, kept me enraptured. Now that it’s over, I’m thankful I didn’t stay curious, and I fully intend to dive into the author’s other works soon.
shock horror
extreme sure but the book feels more like torture porn rather then a book of any substance. imo has some potential the plot isn’t horrible but the gross sexual and bodily fluid content just ruins any potential
A wild ride forsure
