208 – Adam Cesare & Making Scary Clowns Great Again

  • Resumen

  • Send us a text

    Send in the clowns. Tell them not to forget their crossbows and chainsaws.

    This week our guest is Adam Cesare, who’s Clown in a Cornfield trilogy reaches a climax (I won’t say end) in Book 3: The Church of Frendo. I read all three books in one mad rush and they confounded all of my horror-savvy, slasher-weary expectations. These books are a State of the Nation story for the ages – think George Orwell’s Animal Farm, but with fascist clowns rather than Bolshevik swine.

    Adam and I have one of those very Talking Scared conversations. We get into the political and the personal, touching on his time as a teacher, the challenge of empathy, the role of guns in fiction and the rural/urban divide in America.

    But also… clowns! Horrible face-painted bastards that they are.

    Enjoy.
