Please check the trigger warning list linked for more if you need. Welcome back to the void, gremlins. This week, we ventured deeper into the void talking about The Playground: Child of Divorce by Aron Beauregard… and we are not sure we survived with our sanity intact.In this episode, we break down what didn’t work for us, from uneven pacing and underdeveloped emotional stakes to horror that relies more on excess than impact. We talk about where the story could have gone, why the “child of divorce” angle felt hollow, and how extreme horror still needs substance to stick the landing.Was this book scary, or just loud? Was it saying something, or just daring us to keep reading? Join us as we unpack our frustrations, cackle through the chaos, and ask the void whether this playground should have stayed closed.As always, let us know what you thought and if the void echoes back. Send us Fan MailSupport the show
