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) As a lover of things that are morbid, bizarre, or horrifying, I found it nearly impossible to put this book down before I'd read it from cover to cover in 2 short work nights. It brings to life the true horrors out there in life, of a world reliant on social networking and the need for acceptance! And also, the horrifying reality of what people will do if they aren't accepted! The ease of young people being brainwashed by an unknown person on the other end of a computer! Terrifying, and utterly chilling!And the most surprising thing I learned was that there are actually no laws that protect people to this kind of online abuse. Even if they find the person responsible for one of these ‘challenges’ where people lose their life, they can’t be held directly responsible because…

Holy s**t, this one starts with a brief introduction to the characters and then BAM, right into the gore and action! I won't look at my camera the same way again, thanks a lot Aron! I’m excited to announce that addition to my 3 books, they are releasing an 8 chapbook series by Brian Keene, and a 3 chapbook series from my good friend Daniel J. Volpe. I believe they will be announcing some other names as well, but the overall quality and awesomeness of this project is going to be a real treat for readers. As updates come, I’ll be sure to keep everyone in the loop. Incredibly excited about this and I hope you all are as well. Thanks a million for your support, I appreciate all of you and this stuff wouldn’t be possible without all of you.

See a Problem?

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. This book is an essential read, not just for horror fans but for book readers in general. Mark my words, this book is going to shoot Aron into the stratosphere more than he already is. Aron Beauregard presents a story about one of the great dangers our youth face on the internet, the destruction it leaves behind, and the evil behind it. And he does it without pulling punches. He does not spare your feelings. This is the story of an internet challenge that preys on the sad and uncertain, perpetrated by the worst of humanity. It’s also about what draws young people to such things. It’s about those people, those kids, their families, their struggles. It’s about the descent into madness from pain and grief. And it’s graphic. And it’s bloody.

This volume contains 15 interior illustrations and the exclusive essay "Times Change" regarding the writing process and concepts behind Modern Hysteria. This time, Aron still writes a story that most wouldn't really approach. A viral internet challenge that entices confused and depressed young children to kill themselves.These days, people can say and do just about anything, because they have the ‘right’? Bullshit! We are doing more harm than good. If a kid calls an adult an asshole because they couldn’t get their way, they need to be taught how the world really works. I’m not saying beat them to death (almost certainly not), but if they are not held accountable, they will only get worse. What will demotivate them? I’ve read and loved quite a bit of Aron’s work, and this series has made it clear that he just keeps getting better and better with each new release. Wow, this book is a game changer for Aron Beauregard. I feel like it’s equally as important as his seminal release The Slob, if not a tad bit more so simply for the fact that it has had more “mainstream” success and appeal.
