The Haunted Playground And Other Stories PDF Download

Based on an Urban Legend. Rocket City, Alabama 1963. Arik Ensminger, a second-generation German, grew up in the southern town eating Zwischenmahlzeit, Kaffee, and Kuchen while playing cowboys and Indians in the woods of Monte Sano. An avid spelunker, Arik dreams of becoming a photographer but instead follows his family's expectations and prepares for a medical career. He is a dutiful son until... He defies his father to join in a search for a missing child. Arik partners with Willa, a childhood friend, and scientific Wunderkind, to explore the caverns under the mysterious mountain. Caught in a disorienting slip where the passage of time becomes fluid and spontaneous, they lose their way. But an unlikely guide, the Little Ghost Girl, leads them to Ensminger family secrets that were never meant to be discovered, then onto Drost Park, where Arik and Willa find the body of the murdered child. Arik has one shot to end his family's ruthless legacy but, if he's not careful, he will become their final test subject, and Willa will die. Dead Children's Playground is based on Huntsville, Alabama's eerie urban legend of child abductions in the early sixties, where children's bodies were allegedly found in the Park. When time is spent, Eternity begins... Some believe paranormal evidence that the spirits of the children remain.
