A shorter book in one of my favourite comic series, the story returns to the romantic aspects of the character in its most dramatic form, even as it also emphasises the monstrous arguably more than ever before. This is, at its best moments, among the ...more |

Piggies is a unique take on both vampires and the dystopian setting which works very effectively as a YA horror story. The worldbuilding is the best part of this book - transporting a relatable young protagonist into a world that is subtly different. ...more |

| The fourth book in one of my favourite comic book series, Saga of the Swamp Thing starts to show a few more flaws here than in previous entries, but remains a brilliant reading experience as it develops and resolves an epic and apocalyptic encounter. ...more | |

Adam Cesare has crafted a really impressive slasher that changed the way I view the potential in the YA horror space - it deserves the success it has received. Clown in a Cornfield's best aspect - and the biggest way it surprised me - is its manner of ...more |

"4.5 stars
Wow! I went in with certain expectations about the plot and was sorely mistaken...which ended up being a good thing because I actually really enjoyed where this went and everything that happened. I was also pleasantly surprised to discover t" Read more of this review » |

of
Clown in a Cornfield (Clown in a Cornfield, #1):
"I kinda feel like an ass for groaning the minute I saw this was YA, almost ditching it. I’m very glad I didn’t, because it really exceeded my expectations. This book made me a YA-hater no more. Yes it had it’s teeny moments, but that’s to be expected"

“I screamed last night, and felt the sharp, reflective elements boring into my skull. I felt such deep, intense devotions, the kind of emotions it is only possible to experience in nightmares. But I was not dreaming, I could not sleep. I was wide awake. In pain. Debating with my own reflection which one of us should own our veins.”

“Glass always drew my eyes, or my mind. That reflection — the mirror, and the Other Body inside it. I wanted to turn off my mind but it was impossible. So many terrible, monstrous things buzzed around inside of it like electric knife blades, cutting, cutting, cutting.”

“Acting is my whole life. It’s this one thing I am good at. But what if it isn’t good at me? I don’t look like an actor, actors are supposed to be beautiful. I look like me. And that isn’t good enough.”
