Clown in a Cornfield
Read it before you see it! Now a major motion picture from the teams behind Smile and Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.
In Adam Cesare’s terrifying young adult debut, Quinn Maybrook finds herself caught in a battle between old and new, tradition and progress—that just may cost her life.
Quinn Maybrook and her father have moved to tiny, boring Kettle Springs, to find a fresh start. But what they don’t know is that ever since the Baypen Corn Syrup Factory shut down, Kettle Springs has cracked in half.
On one side are the adults, who are desperate to make Kettle Springs great again, and on the other are the kids, who want to have fun, make prank videos, and get out of Kettle Springs as quick as they can.
Kettle Springs is caught in a battle between old and new, tradition and progress. It’s a fight that looks like it will destroy the town. Until Frendo, the Baypen mascot, a creepy clown in a pork-pie hat, goes homicidal and decides that the only way for Kettle Springs to grow back is to cull the rotten crop of kids who live there now.
Don't miss this Bram Stoker Award-winning novel from rising star Adam Cesare.

The story follows a girl names Quinn who moved to the town Kettle Springs with her dad in hopes for a fresh start. She befriends a group of kids who spends their time video tapping their pranks, drinking and partying and the adults in the town hated this about the kids and thought that the kids were toxic to their town and they plot together to do something to get rid of the kids.
This book is a great slasher horror book but I will say the imagery is very vivid and the violence is very graphic so if this triggers you I would steer away. I will say that you will not expect the clown to be what they are. Great read for the spooky season ahead.
It was bloody and yucky and ridiculous and I love it.
I read this in one sitting.
