This one was fun. There were more literary stories, which utilized the clown as a really creative symbol and metaphor. And then there were scary ones, which played on the ideas that clowns cannot possibly be human; I mean, look at them! Some combined the two ideas really well! But there were a couple stories that just felt underdeveloped and flat. Maybe they just weren't my cup of tea, but it did stop me from giving this compendium a higher rating. I will, however, be looking at all the authors' other works and short stories, all the writing styles were unique and attention grabbing (even if not all the stories were).
