Publisher Description
Bram Stoker Award Winner for Superior Achievement in a Young Adult Novel
In Adam Cesare’s terrifying young adult debut, Quinn Maybrook finds herself caught in a battle between old and new, tradition and progress—that just may cost her life.
Quinn Maybrook and her father have moved to tiny, boring Kettle Springs, to find a fresh start. But what they don’t know is that ever since the Baypen Corn Syrup Factory shut down, Kettle Springs has cracked in half.
On one side are the adults, who are desperate to make Kettle Springs great again, and on the other are the kids, who want to have fun, make prank videos, and get out of Kettle Springs as quick as they can.
Kettle Springs is caught in a battle between old and new, tradition and progress. It’s a fight that looks like it will destroy the town. Until Frendo, the Baypen mascot, a creepy clown in a pork-pie hat, goes homicidal and decides that the only way for Kettle Springs to grow back is to cull the rotten crop of kids who live there now.

Played just like a Horror film in my head
Incredibly vivid, took me right to my very own small town upbringing and reimagined the fear I once had from “Children of the Corn” into something new
Total blast
So fun!! Kept me super engaged and I can’t wait to see what happened next!
Holy C(l)ow(n)!
When I tell you this book hit the gas and floored it, I could NOT put it down. Absolutely amazing horror. As a writer myself, this will be in inspiration to many horror writers to come.
