It's an all-new horror classic about what happens when the truth is
the last thing we want to believe, from Bram Stoker Award-winner
and master of thrills and chills, horror legend Adam Cesare. After
barely making it out of the Kettle Springs cornfields alive,
Quinn's first year away at college should be safe and easy. All she
wants is to be normal again. But instead, Quinn finds that her past
won't leave her alone when she becomes the focus of online
conspiracy theories that claim the Kettle Springs Massacre never
happened. It's a deranged but relentless fantasy, and there's
nothing Quinn can do to get people to hear the truth-not even on
her own campus or in her own dorm room. So when a murderous clown
attacks Quinn at a frat party while another goes after her father
in Kettle Springs at the same time, Quinn realizes that the facts
alone are never going to save her. Her only option is to go back
into the cornfields, back where the nightmare began, to set the
record straight the only way she knows how. Because when the truth
gets lost in the lies, that's when people start to die. Clown in a
Cornfield was 2020's Bram Stoker Award Winner for Superior
Achievement in a Young Adult Novel. Clown in a Cornfield 2: Frendo
Lives is perfectly set to attract old and new fans to the series.
