Review - Dead Children's Playground by James Kaine

Synopsis -

A cemetery filled with innocents. A ghostly chill in the air. Will a short walk through the woods awaken a dark power?

Kylie Macklin is eager to live a normal life. Freshly moved from Florida to Alabama and finally in remission from cancer, the optimistic nine-year-old is used to dodging her overprotective mom’s warnings. So when a new playmate invites her to hang out, the happy girl thinks nothing of the playground being located in a graveyard for young victims of the Spanish Flu… and a local serial killer.

Kayla Macklin hates starting over. Forced to relocate after her little sister’s recovery, the sullen nineteen-year-old despises her new home more when she sees a terrifying vision in the nearby crypt. And as kids around town start to fall gravely ill, she begins to suspect there is something sinister at play.

Tormented by a frightening specter’s ever-closer appearances, Kylie turns to her older sibling for help. But as Kayla digs into the history of the haunted ground, the twisted truths she discovers hint at a bloodthirst that can never be sated.

Can they face down the malevolent force without tripping into their own graves?

Review -

Moving to a new town in hopes of rebuilding a family fractured by illness and infidelity is never going to be easy, but it becomes even more complicated when the town has a dark history.

At the heart of this history is a playground where dead children go to play, watched over by a pair of loving caretakers. When their tether to the real world is broken, a demonic entity that feeds on little ones is let loose.

Dead Children's playground is a fast paced, coming of age tale that serves as a very solid entry into the horror genre for those looking for less extreme fare. It's a quick read that is a page turner and sure to entertain.
