❝Quinn looked to the horizon as the cornstalks swayed with the breeze. The corn itself could have been waving hello, or it could have been breathing.❞
I absolutely loved Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare, this book had all the makings of a campy teen slasher. It’s definitely unlocked a whole new fear for me. Clowns. Imagine a whole group of clowns thirsting after your blood, chasing you with machetes, crossbows and chainsaws. Well then you have this book.
At first I was considering maybe supernatural type elements, because how does the towns mascot come alive? Turns out that the older generation in the town believe that the kids need to be snuffed out! This book was a fun, tense and crazy read that kept me hooked from start to finish. I couldn’t think of one bad thing to say about it.

This felt like watching a slightly cheesy but very fresh-faced Halloween slasher flick and I totally enjoyed it! It walked a great line between familiar tropes and new horror, creating a solid balance all throughout, and I think anyone who loves the genre will love this, too! The pacing was a little weird at times, slow and then very rushed, but the story is intriguing enough that it’s not too much of a problem. Perfect October YA read.

Some unexpected heroes and villains, but a mostly predictable plot. Still a great read tho with constant movement.
