Clown in a Cornfield

Adam Cesare

4 1 rating · 1 review on Book Nook

"Quinn Maybrook just wants to make it to graduation. She might not make it to morning. When Quinn and her father move to a tiny town with a weird clown for a mascot, they're looking for a fresh start. But ever since the town's only factory shut down, Kettle Springs has been cracked in half. Most of the town believes that the kids are to blame. After all, the juniors and seniors at Kettle Springs High are the ones who threw the party where Arthur Hill's daughter died. They're the ones who set the abandoned factory on fire and who spend all their time posting pranks on YouTube. They have no respect and no idea what it means to work hard. For the kids, it's the other way around. And now Kettle Springs is caught in a constant battle between old and new, tradition and progress. It's a fight that looks like it will destroy the town. Until one homicidal clown with a porkpie hat and a red nose decides to end it for good. Because if your opponents all die, you win the debate by default."--

First Off, I love Adam Cesare for pissing off the Trump supporters who reviewed this book and the only reason they are pissed off is because of the “ wokeness “ and the leftist ideologies that they don’t agree with.. “. So you get a star for that alone. HAHAHA!! The book starts off slow. Not much really happens then boom.. shit gets a little bloody.. I really wanted to get to know some of the characters. But it seems like a typical slasher. Where a character dies and no one bats an eye. It was campy, gory, hunt fest. ( you’ll see what I mean if you read But good. I can’t wait to read the next books after this.
