Yes, I’ve teased it, I’ve begged you not to call the Clown in a Cornfield series a trilogy, and now it’s time to share why: Clown in a Cornfield 4 will be released August 18th, 2026 in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook. Above is the amazing cover illustrated by Matt Ryan Tobin, first revealed on Bloody Disgusting here.

Here’s the official synopsis, which doesn’t mention your two favorite characters (who kind of took a backseat in book 3), but I promise they’re in there:

Let the killing continue in Lights! Camera! Frendo! It’s the fourth installment of Adam Cesare’s Bram Stoker Award-winning series, and this time Frendo goes Hollywood – with all the blood, guts, and mayhem you’d expect from the series that spawned the blockbuster motion picture.

Sabrina Alvarez is pretty much a nobody—until she lands the starring role in the big budget film based on the Kettle Springs Massacre. Sabrina knows she should be on top of the world. She’s going to be THE Quinn Maybrook, Final Girl of Final Girls, national hero and certified badass. But as soon as Sabrina gets to Kettle Springs, she just can’t quite shake the feeling that something’s off. A spate of deaths, an out-of-control director, a town decimated by loss and divided by anger, and a movie designed to glorify it all. Something bad is brewing, and this time, it’s all on film.

Sounds great, don’t it? So preorder your copy on amazon today. Or, if you’re feeling cool enough to support an indie, pre-order a signed and personalized copy through the mail with my local indie.
