A review by djmysteryflavor
Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare

dark tense fast-paced

4.0

 First off, this book is labelled as a young adult book but I’ll be honest I think it’s really more for 17+ because it’s definitely equivalent to a rated R movie based on how freaking gnarly the gore is. That being said, I did have a fun time reading this book. I felt like this book was if you put Scream into the Footloose town. The whole setting of middle of nowhere farmland where corn reigns king was a correct choice for the vibe that this book was going for as well.  It was a touch predictable but not completely and I did find myself surprised near the end by a few things. As I said, though, it’s rather violent and gory so go into the book with that in mind. If you like a slasher and just want to have a good time with it, I say give this a shot but don’t take it too seriously. Teen slashers are supposed to have a little corniness to them after all. (Ha, see what I did there?)
