From Goodreads: After barely making it out of the Kettle Springs cornfields alive, Quinn’s first year of college back in Philadelphia should be safe and comparatively easy. All Quinn wants is to forget what happened and be normal again. But instead, Quinn finds that her past won’t leave her alone when she becomes the focus of a host of online conspiracy theories that claim to prove that 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 that the facts alone are never going to save her. Her only option is to go back home, back into the cornfields, back to 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 real people start to die.
It’s an all-new horror classic about what happens when the truth is the last thing we want to believe, the sequel to the 2020 Bram Stoker Award winner.
Spoiler Warning! This review contains spoilers for the previous book in this series, Clown in a Cornfield, but does not contain spoilers for this installment!
After the harrowing events of Clown in a Cornfield, Quinn Maybrook is off at college, trying to put the massacre behind her. Cole and Rust are still in Kettle Springs, but take a road trip to visit Quinn. But while all three of them are attending a dorm party, a man in a clown mask attacks. At the same time back in Kettle Springs, Quinn's father - now Mayor Maybrook - is also attacked by a clown.
Adam Cesare nailed it with this one. I found myself simultaneously wanting to turn the pages as fast as possible so I could find out what happened next, as well as desperately wanting to slow down so it wouldn't ever end. Weaving together chilling current events (lots of creepy 4chan-y, InfoWars-y conspiracy fake news-ers) with classic slasher horror, Clown in a Cornfield 2 is wonderful. Crossing fingers this won't be the last installment in the "Clown" saga, as these are just so, so fun to read!
