Aron Beauregard Playground

EVERY PLAYGROUND HAS A PROTOTYPE Geraldine Borden has realized that there's one thing her bottomless wealth can't grant her: children. When an attempt to remedy her infertility fails, she's left with nothing but rage, jealousy, and a murderous idea. She aims to take a place that all children adore and transform it into a twisted arena of carnage. And while her true masterpiece is still under construction, she seeks to entertain herself with a crude prototype filled with barbaric backyard games. Several children from a small New England city have gone missing under mysterious circumstances. This group of kids-who once believed fractured family and teen angst were their toughest battles-now have a whole new set of problems. With no parents to guide them, will the children thrust into Geraldine's nightmare world have the grit and determination to escape? Or will they fall victim to their sadistic captor? The much-anticipated prequel to Aron Beauregard's controversial book "Playground" revisits some of the author's most reprehensible characters. It includes 18 interior illustrations and pushes the limits of incendiary literature even further. WARNING: This book contains graphic content. Reader discretion is advised.
