Clown in a Cornfield by Adam CesareMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A classic slasher flick featuring a homicidal clown killing of bratty teens - what's not to love?
Don't go into this expecting a marvellous work of literature, but if you have expectations of running, screaming and gruesome deaths, this should tick the box for you.
I mostly hated all these characters, which made for a lot of fun when they started dying. There's a little preamble at the start, setting the scene with new girl Quinn meeting everyone at school and being freaked out by overbearing adults. Then it jumps into its first murder and the rest come hard and fast after that.
There's nothing particularly fresh here, but it warms the Halloween heart with its familiar formula. I was happy to just disappear into the cornstalks for a bit and watch the chaos.
The perfect Halloween read, really.
Not one for those looking for fresh ideas and novel execution, but perfect for fans of 90s slashers trying to get a nostalgia hit.
