Fun slasher! Some twists I expected, some I genuinely didn’t. Already requested the sequel from the library!

This was such a fun read. I didn't really know what to expect, but I was so invested! The author does a phenomenal job translating a slasher horror story onto paper. It was fast paced, gory, and filled with action. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering where each twist would lead next.
I'm a sucker for the "small town"/"group of kids trying to survive a horrorfest" trope -- add in cornfields and clowns? Even better.
The motive behind the slaughter is ... pretty silly. A town full of boomers that take the whole "your generation ruins everything" commentary too far. But hey, I've seen horror movies with stranger plots. This was absolutely worth the read and I'd recommend it to any horror fan.
Rust was also my favorite character, had to give him a mention. If I am ever in a cornfield being chased by homicidal clowns, I want him on my team.
