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)

Fantastic story! This was a first Aron Beauregard read/listen for me and it won’t be the last! Charachters that you both love and hate, lots of blood, guts, gore. Super entertaining.

One hell of a ride!

loved it. it's definitely not for everyone, but I've been a gore hound since I was out of the crib.
if you like kids, probably steer clear.

Twisted goodness

Overall it felt dragged out. Once the “playground” parts started it became more enjoyable, but very long winded and I found myself tuning out. The narrator did a fairly decent job with what she was given. Unique character voices and since it was mostly children, the narrator having a soft voice played very well but hurt in other areas. Overall felt it could have been cut down to 4hrs giving it a better pace.

Ps. The old woman’s love life is a good example of parts that dragged on for far to long and felt out of place with the story.

Solid 3.5

Let me start off by saying they Lila Kerry and Aaron Beauregard is a perfect match. I’ve listened to The Slob and Son of the Slob. Aron Beauregard is a great writer even though the content is extremely brutal. This is by far my favorite out of the 3 that I’ve listened too.

It gives a Saw type feel, but I would say this is a bit more brutal. Definitely not for the squeamish.

I think I’m a fan

it wasn't as gross as The Slob, and I was expecting more SAW like creativity. Still decent though.

Slob was better

This was so good! I never thought a story that could make me gag on the freeway driving home would also make me tear up as well. It was the first book I’ve read/listened to by Aron and now I have to read them all - what a way with words!!

Wow!!!

I haven’t torn through an audiobook like this ever. The narrator was incredible and the content was DISGUSTING. As soon as it ended I was ready to hear it all again. That last chapter broke my heart though…

Incredible

The details of the gore was fastidious. Many other books suppress the details of gore and mangled bodies but not this one. The excellent imagery kept my imagination on its toes. The end was well put and left me with dread but satisfaction in the conclusion. This was my first book of the author, it won’t be my last.

Amazingly gruesome

This is the first extreme horror book I have listened to. And I must say I am hooked. I give a warning to anyone squeamish as this one hits right out the gate with the grotesque.

A twisted tale worthy of a listen
