This is a fresh take on the typical slasher and I really enjoyed it. Not really scary for my tastes but then again, slashers have never been scary for me.
Writing was A . Gonna read the second one soon! (

This felt like watching a slightly cheesy but very fresh-faced Halloween slasher flick and I totally enjoyed it! It walked a great line between familiar tropes and new horror, creating a solid balance all throughout, and I think anyone who loves the genre will love this, too! The pacing was a little weird at times, slow and then very rushed, but the story is intriguing enough that it’s not too much of a problem. Perfect October YA read. (

Angry boomer meets Texas chainsaw in the lower B rated tone. The beginning was a bit vapid, and all of the twists were super obvious. The ONLY thing that I got a happy surprise from was the romantic reveal at the end. Will not be reading the sequel (

A group of teens find themselves under siege by killer clowns in a tiny Midwestern town. What starts as a very retro 80s slasher throwback (Ceasare clearly wants to remind you about the satantic panic of the 80s) becomes sometime even more sinister, more nowish. This is a story of the real life fears teens have to contend with - from gun violence to the insidious “Make __ Great Again” groupthink. It's true adults just don't understand teens but in this case, they want to wipe the teens out, so the teens can't change the town and the country.

YA horror is having a moment and Ceasare certainly pushes the boundaries of YA with the brutal novel that is not for the faint of heart. This is a brutal horror novel that just happens to feature a group of teens as the protagonists. Clown in a Cornfield perfectly encapsulates the generational and ideological divide currently shaping today’s politics. It's horrifying. (

Such a good, quick horror/slasher. Classic set-up with the family moving from the city for a “fresh start” to soon discover the rural Midwest town they’ve ended up in has some… baggage to say the least. This was absolutely gripping once everything kicked off. While some points were a bit predictable as it followed the almost standard slasher formula, but that didn’t make it any less enjoyable and there were still some good surprises. I’m looking forward to reading book two (
