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.

4.5 rounded up. I think this is only the second book I've read where the clowns are the innocent, and I really like that concept. The clown hunt did what I want in an horror story,. Had a good set up on the main characters and made me care for the side characters and of. course being absolutely gruesome and an intense read. I loved the ending and the story overall. Scary and intense. Will definitely buy more from this author.

From the very first page this book hits you hard for what I ride you will have. Gruesome, vile and super fast paced this story makes you think twice about dressing up has a clown. There’s a particular scene which will definitely stay with you concerning a pregnant woman. Definitely will read more from this author

I loved this book, a story of evil that believes they're doing right by snuffing out what they think is the true evil.
I also really liked the ending as it touched on trauma and this idea of being no better than the ones that have hurt you in the past.

I am going to be as brutal in my remarks as the contents of this book was: This is a work of gratuitous violence without any socially redeeming value to it. I am only glad that my Kindle version only cost me $1.50. Don't waste your time on this trash!

That was insane...
How do I even write a review for this? I can't recommend it because there are so many potential triggers. All I can say is if you've done your research and can handle truly extreme horror, maybe give it a go? It delivered on killer clown vibes at the same time while you are rooting for the poor clowns. I will certainly never forget it lol.
