Clown in a Cornfield, by Adam Cesare

Book cover: Clown in a Cornfield, by Adam Cesare

I recently wrote about Clown in a Cornfield at Substack:

So, while the cover art of Clown in a Cornfield evokes old school Stephen King and Clive Barker—who blurbed it—the inside, to me, was more reminiscent of 80s slasher movies mashed up with Christopher Pike, in that most of the secondary characters talked and acted like boozy 40-somethings on Dynasty:

“Give me that,” Janet said, swiping a beer from a terrified looking first-year. “We can’t be drinking on camera, dickhead.” She drained the half beer and tossed the empty can over her shoulder. The boy watched, something like admiration—infatuation?—creeping onto his face.

All of which is entirely my jam.
