The Playground of Lost Souls is a chilling supernatural horror novel that twists childhood nostalgia into something darkly predatory.
On the edge of the small town of Havenwood lies Blackwood Playground-an abandoned park swallowed by rust, rot, and whispered warnings no one dares to explain. Once a place of laughter and joy, it has become a scar on the town's memory, a place where children vanished, and innocence curdled into fear.
On Halloween night, five teenagers cross its rusted gates on a dare, convinced the legends are nothing more than superstition. But Blackwood is not empty. The swings move without wind. The carousel remembers how to feed. And the playground itself awakens, revealing a hunger far older than any ghost story.
As reality warps and the rides come alive, the group is forced to confront a terrible truth: Blackwood does not simply haunt-it consumes. Fear is its fuel. Childhood wonder is its bait. And once the games begin, escape is not guaranteed.
Blending relentless dread, visceral imagery, and psychological horror, The Playground of Lost Souls explores the terror of corrupted innocence and the monsters that grow where joy once lived. Some places can never be cleansed-and some games never end.
