About this book
The thrills and chills are far from over in the third novel from Bram Stoker Award winner and master of scare, horror legend Adam Cesare.
Quinn has just survived yet another bloody run-in with the murderous clown Frendo, but somehow still she knows this won't be the last. Tired of being hunted and seeing innocent people hurt, Quinn believes the only way to beat the horror is to take justice into her own hands--and stop the Frendo followers herself. Little does she know that this path will take her across cornfields and state lines, to where she will have to face the most dangerous and bloody menace yet: True believers.
It's an all-new tale in this terrifying trio series about the villains inside us all, from the master of slashers and suspense, award-winning author Adam Cesare.
