Its an all-new horror classic about what happens when the truth is the last thing we want to believe, from Bram Stoker Awardwinner and master of thrills and chills, horror legend Adam Cesare.
After barely making it out of the Kettle Springs cornfields alive, Quinns 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 wont leave her alone when she becomes the focus of online conspiracy theories that claim the Kettle Springs Massacre never happened. Its a deranged but relentless fantasy, and theres nothing Quinn can do to get people to hear the truthnot 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, thats when people start to die.
Clown in a Cornfield was 2020s 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.
"In this fun, frenetic sequel, Cesare tackles mob mentality and misinformation, and the return of Frendo oozes with old wounds and angry conspiracy-fueled grudges. With the rising body count and nonstop action, the pace will feel familiar to slasher fans as it delivers satisfying fight and death scenes." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Cinematic and blood soaked." -- Booklist
"This book is a violent and timely tale with thinly veiled yet compelling subtext that should resonate. It's a breakneck slasher sequel that doesn't waste any time getting to the action and suspense." -- Bloody Disgusting
"A perfect extension of the world Cesare created in the first book... will thrill readers of any age." -- Rue Morgue Magazine
"Frendo Lives feels simultaneously like a perfect companion to the first novel and a wonderful jumping off point for more adventures in Frendo's dark world." -- Paste Magazine
