I really enjoyed Clown in a Cornfield as a smart piece of YA horror; it was a book that never talked down to its audience but kept its foot on the gas when it came to its slasher elements. So I wasn't surprised per se to find myself in love with Clown in a Cornfield 2: Frendo Lives, but I was very impressed at the framing device Cesare used to expand his universe. Clown in a Cornfield 2 uses its slasher foundation to tell a story about social media disinformation and violent conspiracy theories, and it allows the book to feel even more dangerous than the original - and even more timely.
