dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

The actual story in the book is fun. It starts off with a clown attack, but the majority of the book is a group of clowns quite literally being hunted. Unfortunately, i did notice many grammatical errors in this book (mostly the use of "you're" in place of "your")

That being said, some of the most brutal and horrifying things I've ever read were in this book. The scene with the wishbone, or the man tried to the tree, both make me sick deep in my stomach. Obviously i would recommend this to anyone who enjoys horror and has little to no triggers.
