Wow! I can't believe I am saying this, but I think I love the sequel more than the first novel which is rare for me. Clown in a Cornfield 2 brings gives us more action, is gorier, and hits close to home with the social media aspects and what that can cause in our everyday society.

Clown in a Cornfield 2 follows the three (Quinn, Rust, and Cole) as they try to continue on with their lives after the tragic events of last year. Things appeared to be going along well until the year one anniversary when their old enemy Frendo decides to reemerge and continue what was started last year.

I love Adam Cesare's homage to the world of 80's slashers, and he does great justice to it!! There is a LOT of gore again so be warned that there are some pretty cringeworthy scenes. I also loved the added element of social media that really brings home that this situation could happen in everyday life and makes it that much more suspenseful!

I loved getting to see further development of Quinn, Rust, and Cole because they are just the most adorable little trio. I also enjoyed the new cast we are introduced to especially Jessi. I really hope we do get a Clown in the Cornfield 3 so we can see them again!!! I am not ready to say goodbye to these guys lol.

I highly recommend Clown in a Cornfield series to any fan of 80s slasher horror, to any fans of horror, and any fans of killer clowns!
