Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare

Clown in a Cornfield
by Adam Cesare
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Quinn is the new girl in town - a city girl who, after the death of her mother, is looking for a fresh start. She unknowingly falls into the cast of reckless, rebellious teens who are “ruining” the town of Kettle Springs. Oh. And there are clowns. And they’re murderous. Things begin going downhill very quickly. 

Clown In A Cornfield is a fantastic ride from beginning to end. I hope this is a book that gets made into a film - it would definitely be a fun one to see on the big screen! A really great aspect of this story is that practically every character is unlikeable. They are obnoxious, rude, and lack all common sense, however Adam Cesare is killer (no pun intended) at offering every character a redemption moment. Thanks to character development throughout this story, by the end, you really do begin to root for these characters. One of my favorite parts of this story is the relationship between Quinn and her father Glenn. It’s a realistic portrayal of a father/daughter relationship and I genuinely enjoyed those moments shared between them. 

I could go on and on reviewing this book but it all comes back to this: this is a great slasher. It takes place in small town America. It’s about a murderous clown. There is blood and gore. There’s not much more than that to be said! It was fun, it was suspenseful, and it was bloody! It moves very fast and is a page turner. If you enjoy horror films or slashers, please do yourself a favor and pick up this book. It’s so much fun!
