Frendo Lives

By: Adam Cesare

Narrated by: Jesse Vilinsky

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.

• Perfect for Halloween Reading
• For teens who love dark and scary stories

Cesare's done it again!

I didn't think you could put more clown in that cornfield but Adam found a way!

great follow up

great follow up. doesn't fall short the way a lot of slasher titles do. looking forward to the third

A decent sequel!

Overall I’m just really enjoying this series! The first remains my favorite but this was a pretty decent sequel. I’m interested to see what they can do for a third book.

Frendo Lives and it is GLORIOUS!!!

Adam Cesare suppressed the first one with this sequel!! 😩🙌🏿 An AMAZING author. Fantastic with storytelling and the pace of his novels are ON POINT! This sequel was TERRIFYING and the body count....I honestly couldn't keep track lol It had everything I wanted in a horror novel. Love the narrator of these novels. Jesse is PHENOMENAL! I love that he includes LGBTQIA+ characters in this book series. As a Black, gay man who loves the horror genre, I feel seen!! Thank you!! Thank you!!! Looking forward to his next novel. 😍👍🏿👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

A superior sequel

Clown in a Cornfield 2 has the advantage of the reader knowing what it is. My biggest issue with the first book is that I went in expecting a cheesy 80's style slasher but instead got something more akin to The Purge, a mayhem infused bloodbath with heavy political themes. It sort of marred my opinion of the book a bit, Frendo Lives does not have that problem. I knew exactly what the book would be when I picked it up and it let me sit back and fully enjoy the story. I wasn't distracted thinking to myself "oh so this is THAT kind of book" and it was all the better for it. I plan on revisiting the first book eventually to see if my opinion of it changes now that I know what it is.
Overall I'd recommend Frendo Lives to anyone that enjoyed the first book.
