The Hunger Games, but with kids in a playground.

Brutal, violent and horrific. All the makings of a wonderful splatterpunk novel! I may be the twisted problem here, but some of the horror rides were a little too boring for me and the scenes involving them often felt rushed.

Aside from that, if you into kids and adults getting brutally murdered, Playground is for you!
