clayeaston85 's review for:

Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare

---

A cute YA horror book that mimics the feel of a mid-80’s slasher pretty well. Incorporates MAGA politics into its nightmarish, gore filled plot in a very literal and instructive way (which is appropriate for YA) without ever feeling too preachy. That one romantic storyline is sweet but it comes out of absolutely nowhere in the last fifty or so pages in a way that completely baffled me since the book is otherwise pretty straightforward in terms of inhabiting its characters well
