Let's Go Play at the Adams' (1974)
Paperbacks from Hell #9
Mendal W. Johnson
​Introduction by Grady Hendrix


Book Description

​“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.
