Description

The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged. More than a terrifying horror story, Let's Go Play at the Adams' is a compelling psychological exercise of brooding insights and deadly implications. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. The psychological aspect described here is incredibly unsettling (as most of the book is) but I found it to be a key plot moment near the end. The kids range in age from 10 to 17, and Barbara is tasked with babysitting the Adams children, Bobby who is 13 and Cindy, while their parents are in Europe for a week.

but you do not often approach those authors or directors as if they were depicting actual reality, real life there on the page or up on the screen, breathing and bleeding and genuine. It definitely deserves 5 stars and I can definitely say that I will not be forgetting about this book. It’s a book that has a profound effect on people, one that keeps horror fans looking for it almost as much as it makes them breathe a sigh of relief that it remained (until recently released as part of the Paperbacks From Hell collection of reprints) incredibly scarce. Each child was consumed by his own individual lust and caught up with the others in sadistic manipulation and passion, until finally, step by step, their grim game strips away the layers of childishness to reveal the vicious psyche, conceived in evil and educated in society's sophisticated violence, that lies always within civilized men.

Even later, when she realised that she really was a prisoner, she was snooty and still thought herself better than the children.

Meanwhile, the narration from the Freedom Five’s point of view continues minimizing Barbara’s presence until finally they stop thinking of her as a person at all, instead referring to her simply by her pronouns, and then in the end as “it.

But it seems that after they frame a random dude who’s loitering in the grounds of the massive house of the murder, everyone just accepts this and asks no questions.

Not because of the base premise or because "kids wouldn't do that" - situations similar to this happen in real life, after all. However, I don't think I ever expected it would still have such a strong impact on my thoughts and feelings about 25 years later. The things that happened to the babysitter, Barbara, while being tied-up and under the control of the five kids (ranging in age from 10-17) was terrible to say the least. The enormous house is isolated on the Eastern shore of Maryland, with the closest neighbors being not very close.They have been playing games together for years now, and those games have gradually become sadistic in nature.

The treatment of Barbara was, of course, pretty nasty, and the descriptions really took me into the bowels of the story.

What is deeply disturbing and unsettling, however, is observing the children’s behavior and interactions with their captive. Steve is also a voracious reader, reviewing everything he reads and submitting the majority of his reviews to be featured on Kendall Reviews.
