This sequel to Cesare's 2020 Bram Stoker Award winning slasher novel takes up the action one year after the Kettle Springs Massacre. Quinn Maybrook has moved to Philadelphia for college. Rust and Cole, now a couple, remain in their Missouri hometown. As survivors, they are always looking over their shoulders. Quinn carries a combat baton and Rust keeps guns in his pickup, while Cole trusts his generous town-rebuilding activities to keep him safe. They have become celebrities, as well as targets of a conspiracy theory that flips the script, making them into the murderers and celebrating Sheriff Dunne as a fallen hero. Days before Halloween, Quinn's father is attacked, so Quinn returns to Kettle Springs, where a popular Haunted Hayride and Scream Park operates on the site of the massacre and a parade of clown-masked true believers takes to the streets with the goal of bringing "the Three" to justice. The mayhem is less sharply focused and gleeful this time around, but equally cinematic and blood soaked. The guns and misinformation fueling the vengeful crowd add effective social relevance.

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.
