This was so good. I love trying to overcome my crippling fear of clowns by reading as much clown horror as possible. R. Saint Claire is really good at bringing the horror, and telling an entertaining, creepy story.
We follow journalist Dag, and his ever growing fascination with an abandoned amusement park, and the legend of Carni. If you want a good clown scare with a stellar story please pick this up.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of the book, in exchange for a honest review.

A couple of days ago, I saw a book trailer for this on insta. It looked super fun and creepy but clowns aren't really my thing. Then I heard a booktuber talking about it and I was like, 'hmm, sounds interesting.' Then it popped up on netgalley and I was like, "ok universe, I get it, you want me to read the amusement park clown book! FINE!"

And you know what? The universe was doing me a solid because this was such a fun time. It's so much more than just a creepy clown. There's gore and cults and possession, and a main character who could not make a good choice if his life depended on it. So much bloody chaos. Such a page turner!
