Bram Stoker Award Winner for Superior Achievement in a Young Adult NovelIn Adam Cesare's terrifying young adult debut, Quinn May brook finds herself caught in a battle between old and new, tradition and progress—that just may cost her life. Quinn May brook and her father have moved to tiny, boring Kettle Springs, to find a fresh start. But what they don't know is that ever since the Baypen Corn Syrup Factory shut down, Kettle Springs has cracked in half. On one side are the adults, who are desperate to make Kettle Springs great again, and on the other are the kids, who want to have fun, make prank videos, and get out of Kettle Springs as quick as they can. Kettle Springs is caught in a battle between old and new, tradition and progress. It's a fight that looks like it will destroy the town. Until Frendo, the Baypen mascot, a creepy clown in a pork-pie hat, goes homicidal and decides that the only way for Kettle Springs to grow back is to cull the rotten crop of kids who live there now.

The start of something amazing

This book is an amazing start to an awesome series. It’s such a fun read, it dose start off slow but stick with it as it really picks up and really pick up. Quinn is a great addition to the Final Girls world and this book makes you want to keep following her journey. This is not only a perfect book for spooky season or horror lovers teen to adult but I think it’s a fun book for anyone who wants a book that you can’t put down and wants to get your heart pumping. There’s a reason it has won Bram Stoker Award for Best Young Adult Novel.

Literally read it in 3 days love it sm

This is actually my first time reading a “real” horror book, I’ve engaged w tons of horror media, n bought a couple teen-tween horror stories, but I obviously knew this was way different. And I liked it lots! I thought the kills were fun and creative mostly, obviously not all, and as sumone who’s never been afraid of clowns it was quite fun! It actually had sum rlly funny or rlly sweet moments I enjoyed, and I got wayy too connected to certain characters T^T <3 If it ended differently I think the story would have been a 3-4 out of 5, but I liked the ending tons and went back n forth from screaming (in a good way, probably out of excitement and vindication) and having those exciting moments of dread. Overall, very glad I bought it, and im almost certainly buying the other books in this series :D I’ve also already recommended it to my friends n raved n they either also want to read it or loved hearing abt it

The Clowns of the Cornfield

You are invited to a party filled with Booze, Music and no Chaperones. It is a great party with some uninvited Guests. Are they there to entertain? Will they make balloon animals? Or will they perform some homicidal tricks? This a fun quick easy read and be looking forward to reading the next installment Clown in a Cornfield: Frendo Lives

Thrilling!!!!

Title: Clown in a Cornfield Author: Adam Cesare Release Date: August 25th, 2020 Page Count: 352 Format: Audiobook Start Date: June 24th, 2023 Finish Date: June 24th, 2023 Rating: 5 Stars Review: I'm really not even sure how this book came into my life. Probably I stumbled upon the cover and just had to have it. There's not telling. Either way, I'm really glad that I did. It has a bit of a slow burn. There were also parts that kind of jump a bit. I'd love to see this turned into a movie in all honesty. Even if I would wind up watching the movie alone. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel once I get my hands on it. I also really liked what I see of books by this author that I'd love to read as well. Please be advised that this is a horror/thriller. It does have some violence, gore, and foul language. I think people should make sure that there isn't anything that would be triggering to them before starting it.

Great Slasher Read!

Took this from the author’s YouTube channel… it indeed does have the “I Know What You Did Last Summer” inspiration side BUT also mixed with Children of the Corn just reversed in roles (no spoilers from me!) definitely a wild ride and it keep me going that I finished the novel in a single seating. Definitely easy to follow with the plot and action pieces playing out and very VIOLENT. Fitting for a modern slasher YA novel with some old school 80s/90s vibes for high school kids. Plus the mentioned of Philadelphia a lot in this novel (living across from directly over the Ben Franklin in Camden) this is by far humorous, violent, but overall worth the hype this was getting. Very old school driven cover art gave it away for me, Bram Stoker Award winning novel also gave it away - all positives! Can’t wait for the sequel to come!
