Let's Go Play at the Adams' (Paperbacks from Hell)
Let's Go Play at the Adams' (Paperbacks from Hell) | Mendal W. Johnson
5 posts | 12 read | 8 to read
"They're just kids ... It's only a game." That's what Barbara, a lovely twenty-year-old babysitter told herself when she awoke bound and gagged. But the knots were tight and painful and the children would not let her go. "They're just kids ... It's only a game," she told herself again. But the terror was real ... and deadly! In the decades since its original publication, Mendal W. Johnson's bestseller Let's Go Play at the Adams' (1974) has gained a reputation as one of the most harrowing horror novels ever written, and copies have long been unobtainable except at exorbitant prices. This edition reproduces the original paperback cover art and features a new introduction by Grady Hendrix (Paperbacks from Hell), in which details about this cult masterpiece's enigmatic author are revealed for the first time.

For so long I thought this was a novel of “lingerie horror,” which I figured was a term I just hadn‘t heard but could figure out what it meant.

No, that word is LINGERING. Which, yes, accurate. This book stuck with me while reading and after finishing. It‘s the kind of thing I usually avoid, the bleak horror I don‘t want to experience, a book that left me crying in bed in the fetal position.

It‘s not a fun read. It‘s powerful.

LiteraryinPA Ha, based on the cover lingerie horror could have fit too! 4mo

For years, I've heard about this classic horror novel. Having read it now, I can appreciate why it has the status it does, but it just wasn't for me.

It's a bit like Lord of the Flies, only with spoiled rich kids without a conscience who aren't fighting to survive, they're just crazy.
