In my short time exploring the extreme horror genre, this has felt like the most complete book I've read, maybe The Playground too. As for The Clown Hunt, characters were established that I liked right away and was bummed out to see them go.

A very gruesome read and fun splatter. The brief instances of humor in the book didn't really land, although the Harlem Shake reference was appreciated. Was pleasant seeing a diverse cast for once in this genre. Maybe my favorite protagonist too I've come across in this genre thus far. Finished it in one sitting and would recommend.
