Clownfleisch
Das Städtchen Craw Falls in South Dakota ist zu einem Gefängnis geworden. Ein Schneesturm ungeahnten Ausmaßes wütet über der Region. Die Straßen sind gesperrt. Niemand kommt mehr hinein, niemand kommt mehr hinaus.
Doch in den eisigen Winden und dem Schneegestöber lauert eine noch weitaus tödlichere Gefahr.
Sie kriechen aus dem Schnee und machen Jagd auf menschliche Beute.
Bis zum Morgengrauen wird sich die Stadt in eine Leichenhalle verwandelt haben – es sei denn, es gelingt einer kleinen Gruppe Überlebender, die Monster in ihrer Mitte zu bekämpfen. Grauenhafte Monster jenseits der menschlichen Vorstellung.
CLOWNS!

DNF at 41%. As you all know, I am a skilled, established, and loyal killer clown enthusiast. In my life the order of importance is killer clowns, family, country. You get it. So, this book looked like a blast and in a lot of ways it was. Unsettling atmosphere, well-written characters, gory, and, of course, a perfect antagonist. This began to lose me once I got a grasp of how many characters Tim Curran brought in. It was quite overwhelming and I couldn’t remember who most of them were. And our resident clown hunter pro, Clegg, as an example, seemed like a very important character, but he wasn’t addressed for a lengthy period, to make room for lesser characters to have the spotlight. But, it didn’t seem like any of that contributed to the overarching plot, whereas Clegg did, so what was the point of all that filler material. I also felt like this poached ideas from 30 Days of Night in more ways than it should have. With a group of killer, demonic clowns, there are tons of interesting ways an author could use that to make a very unique, entertaining story. Whether to be silly or deadly serious, the sky’s the limit with possibilities. Here there was nothing clown-like about them, aside from their appearance, nor did they kill people in ways that were different from what we saw in 30 Days. Not sure if that was Tim Curran’s purpose, to pay homage, but between the kills, the setting (Snowy and no power), our lead being a cop, etc, it was all too much to ignore. And the story is way too long. It’s 300 pages and peaked way too early, not able to maintain that momentum for long. It could have been so much shorter, if the characters were trimmed down a lot and Curran’s approach was more focused, resulting in a better experience. However, it was clear how much time and effort Tim Curran put into this, so kudos for the effort. This just really needed to be its own concept, which it didn’t accomplish.

CLOWNFLESH, by Tim Curran is one of those horror novels that I simply love to sink my teeth into. This book starts out with a bang from the first page, and never lets up for long. Even in those brief intervals where "physical action" isn't nonstop, you find yourself on edge waiting for--anything--to suddenly ambush you.
In other words, this was pure fun--if your tastes are as horrific as mine.
". . . All kinds of things in the world . . . that people never see. But it don't mean they don't exist."
First of all, clowns are nightmare inducing as it is. Where you factor in the "unknown" element that Curran takes these to, add in a limitless body count with the gore, blood, and mutilations to go with it, you have something truly unique.
Tim Curran is a master at "unique" plotlines.
". . . When you added in the human factor, things got messy."
While the action takes center stage here, you still have a group of characters that you get to know well enough to care about--whether you love them or hate them. What really captures the imagination though is the unpredictability of everything. No matter what you think is coming, there is no formula for this!
". . . It's something from hell and if it gets loose, you've got a life expectancy of about thirty seconds."
I've read many novels, novellas, and short stories by this author in the past, and can't think of any that weren't well above average. Curran knows his skill, and his imagination is limitless. I believe if you gave him a title as mundane as "The Grass Grows", he'd be able to whip up something that astounds you.
". . . Reality, as such, has completely broken down."
Another great novel from a master of horror.
Recommended.

I love Tim Curran. He does suspense, tension, and gore exceptionally well and his books usually have all three in equal measure. You really can't go wrong with anything he has written but if you're asking me for my favorites I gotta say Skin Medicine, Devil Next Door, and Biohazard would be my picks. Here's the funny thing though, I've read thirty pieces of fiction by him and have gotten pretty used to his style and voice but during the first 20% of this it did not seem like his writing at all. Things seemed kinda rushed, the descriptions of the squishy stuff wasn't on par with what he is capable of writing and I wasn't feeling it like I've felt his other stories. But then, right at the 21% mark, things changed, good ol' Tim was back, the story grew "blood-splattered and bile-streaked, chittenous wings" and took off. Just from the title and cover it was easy to expect some sort of influence by way of Killer Klowns From Outer Space but this ended up being so much more than that. I felt a little bit of The Thing (O.G. 1982 version), a little Lovecraft, and even a little of Evil Dead's Ash in here that made it rise above what lesser authors would of had being just a bunch of clowns running around killing people. I've been dying for this to come out on Kindle since it was released in paperback and I gotta say it was worth the wait and lived up to my lofty expectations. Another home run for Curran, 4.5 overall stars.

This is probably one of the bloodiest books that I've read in a long time, and I loved it! Also, Clownflesh features some of the creepiest and most off-putting clowns that I've come across thus far in my horror fiction journey. I feel like this book was Tim Curran's way of righting what was wrong with Dead White by Alan Ryan. This is also a very thematic winter read. Highly recommend for gore-fiends.

Well written creepfest involving a small South Dakota town caught in the jaws of creatures that morph into killer clowns. They search out their victims under cover of a raging blizzard. Clownflesh belongs right on the shelf next to Alan Ryan's excellent Dead White. Very highly recommended.

Daaammmnnn….
Killer clowns run amok in a blizzard, terrorizing a small town, picking off the residents one by one as the local law enforcement stands by powerless to stop it and all told by the twisted mind of Tim Curran.
Yes, please.

Only Tim Curan can write a book like Clownflesh. After reading his meat-falling-from-the-sky tale, Bad Girl in the Box, I knew from Clownflesh’s synopsis that this one was going to be equally insane.
A blizzard like no other hits Craw Falls, SD and for those residents who aren’t hunkered down already behind the warmth and safety of closed doors are about to run across an evil that seems impossible to believe. Clowns appearing out of the swirling snow. On the side of the road. In the town’s park. From behind snow covered cars parked on the city streets. Impossible, right? Not when Curran is writing the story. The man makes the preposterous seem downright plausible. And just like Curran’s other novels, the snow is about to turn red. These clowns aren’t here for laughs. What are they? Why are they here? You’ll have to read it to believe it.
I’m a Curran fan. I’m challenged to think of any other authors out there that can describe a scene like him. When you’ve completed one of his paragraphs describing a dead body or a kill scene, all five of your senses are ready to convulse. Clownflesh is no exception. If I have a complaint, it’s his use of present continuous tense instead of past present tense to tell the story. There were parts that felt clunky because of this. Not enough to kill my enjoyment, but enough for me to knock it down half a star. It’s still worth the read. If you want crazy, check it out.

It's always fun to read a Tim Curran novel. The man knows horror.
While this one won't go down as a favourite of mine, it still satisfies a lot of what you'd want from a horror novel. Curran's strength is his ability to immerse the reader in a claustrophobic, suffocating environment. We've had it before when he went underground into mines and when he's surrounded his victims in alien tentacles. Here it's an oppressive and ever present snowstorm in a tiny town...with killer clowns.
Tim Curran is a guy who can take a ridiculous sounding concept and make it genuinely scary. There were some descriptive sentences where I had to stop and think, "Man, this guy is getting better at this".
There are many obvious parallels to John Carpenter's The Thing, and that's OK.
A warning to the squeamish out there: Curran pulls out a lot of stops when it comes to the gorefest. The story has that horror quality we all know and love of following characters one by one as they meet their very messy dooms, but after several of these I was ready to cut to the chase.
But hey, all in good fun, kiddies. Like I've said in other reviews before, his scenes remind me of the horror comics I read as a kid and that's OK, too.
3.5 for the story as a whole but rounding up for a few well done unsettling passages.

Clown horror done right.
Easily the most insane piece of clown horror I've ever read. Think of the most awfully hideous clown monsters dusted with a bit of The Thing. Highly recommended.

At the end of 2019, Pete from Bloodshot Books sent me a list of 6 or 7 books he was wondering if I was interested in reviewing. Truthfully, I didn’t even read their synopsis’. Pete releases such high quality stuff and Bloodshot Books has always been super kind to me and thinking of me for possible reviews, so I took them all. After reading ‘Clownflesh’ I have one left from that batch!
I’d not read Tim Curran before, but he was always an author that people would recommend I check out. I do remember seeing the cover for this when it was announced and even back then it really didn’t strike me as one I thought was ‘yah’ or ‘meh.’
Having now read the book, the cover fits the story perfectly.
What I liked: This is a book that will either absolutely work for you or you’ll hate it from the get go. You’ll know within the first few chapters. How will you know? Well, the synopsis is this: Craw Falls, South Dakota gets slammed by a snow storm. As night descends murderous clowns sprout from the shadows and darkness to kill everyone as viciously as possible. That really is it. So, just how will you know if this will work for you? When you start reading this and you get to the first moment where a person realizes the thing stalking them and is about to murder them is a clown, you’ll either be scared out of your shell or you’ll start laughing. If you are scared, the rest of the book is such an amazing full-throttle, rock ’em sock’em thrill ride that you’re in for a treat. If you laugh… the rest of the book is going to come off lame and you just won’t enjoy it like you would if Curran was creeping you the hell out.
I loved how this book unfolded. I was extremely unnerved from page one. Something about a jingling sound in the distance, the wind carrying a stench, something moving and coming closer to a lone person in the snow – exhilarating. And Tim does it over and over and over again.
What I didn’t like: As much as I loved this story, it isn’t without some minor faults. Firstly, we get introduced to a man specifically in town to kill the clowns. Clegg is then locked up and for the majority of the book he remains in his cell, until finally released near the end. I felt a bit let down at the carnage he could’ve unleashed had he been re-introduced a bit earlier. Secondly, there really is no back story or ‘reason’ behind why the clowns have arrived. I was expecting a glorious mythology about them, but nothing.
Why you should buy it: Well, did you read the synopsis? I mean, killer clowns? If that at all interests you then this is a must buy! Otherwise, this features some truly cringe-worthy moments, some amazingly graphic deaths and Curran never lets up, not even at the explosive finale. I’m glad I didn’t pass on this one now. What a fun ride.

Summary
In a small South Dakota town a blizzard rolls in, cutting off all communication with the outside world. It is also harboring horrifying monsters in the form of killer clowns. The residents barely stand a chance when all hell breaks loose.
Personal opinion
Clownflesh is one of those gory books that jumps right into the action and keeps it going.
The small town, with all types of communication cut off by a stronger than usual blizzard, creates the perfect conditions for a group of killer clowns to run amuck. They also bring with them lots of gory goodness for slasher fans.
I do have mixed feelings about the very short chapters and rapid changing POV between so many different characters though. It's a great way to show the clown attacks and bloody murders, but it also made it hard for me to really get into the story or connect with the characters.
Another problem I had was the women were mostly portrayed as weak and even raped at times with the strong main leads only being men.
Overall, it was like a mix of Killer Clowns From Outer Space and 30 Days of Night. But I didn't love it as much as I hoped.
October 28, 2019
This was going to be a solid 4* from me until I got to the final page. Much like Graham Masterton’s Tengu, this novel isn’t afraid to subvert expectations, and not like a shitty way like the writers of Game of Thrones season 8. Yes, the plot is ridiculous, but Tim Curran is obviously a fan of crazy monster novels and films. He makes clowns scary again and does with terrifying, bloodthirsty clowns in a small town what Stephen King did with vampires in ‘Salem;s Lot. Judging by his most recent releases, Tim Curran is elevating himself even further as a horror author and a writer in general. I haven’t loved everything he has released but, since reading Dead Sea, I will read his work as long as he keeps ‘em coming. Never stop, Tim!!!

CW: Rape, homophobia, racism, misogyny
EDIT: After sitting on it for a few minutes, I've given it one star. Maybe I'll rethink it again, but for now, I just need the rating to reflect my revulsion.
This review is going to have spoilers, and I'll hide the major ones, but I'm not hiding the whole review on principle, because I think everyone should know what they're getting into before they read this book.
First thing's first: this is a good horror book. It does what it sets out to well, and creeps the hell out of the reader, with enough gore and slasher moments to appeal to those of us who are really into detailed accounts of disembowelment. I will say that. But other than that, it's a good horror novel. The writing is good, too. For all this, it deserves the two stars I've given it.
The problem with the book, however, is basically every depiction of everyone. Bonnie is treated as nothing but a sexually appealing piece of meat the entire book, and I think that's a shame. Moreover, I think it's reprehensible that not a single strong woman is portrayed in the whole book. They're all quick to give into sexual desires or they just die after very little character development. The closest we get is Jaylene, but she's literally referred to as a "slit licker" by another character and is constantly disparaged with rabid, disgruntling homophobic slurs.
This kind of homophobic undercurrent mirrors a ton of others, including racism, homophobia, and serious misogyny. Curran drops the n-word and f*ggot among others. The women are sexualised or weak, or both. Multiple characters are raped, both male and female, but only the female characters have their rapes described, and you get the uncomfortable feeling that Curran enjoys writing those scenes.
What makes all of this particularly troubling is that literally none. of. it. contributes. anything. to. the. story. You can argue that these kinds of stereotypes, opinions, and language have their place in horror (though I would disagree), but they are so out of place in this book. They genuinely drag the down from a solid 4.5 stars to 2 or fewer. I honestly can't tell if Curran was trying to portray his characters as just from a small, close-minded town, or if these reflect his own values, because they were purely vitriolic in nature, and didn't serve to further the plot or the tension or horror whatsoever.
Of course, Curran isn't the only author that has this problem. Other authors (particularly white, male ones) seem to think that writing horror is a free license to be as absurdly offensive as possible. Horror can be written to repulse us, sure, but let's not use it as a way to play out whatever sick fantasies of raping women and calling lesbians 'slit-lickers' we have.
Overall, I cannot in good faith recommend this book to anyone; despite the writing and good employment tension and gore, its portrayals of women and minorities are just way too offensive to have been enjoyable. I only finished it because it was genuinely creeping me out, which is hard to do, and because I wanted to know the full scope of the social transgressions this novel lays out for this review.

While this wasn’t my favourite book by Curran, it was a mental ride. Shape shifting clowns take over a town that’s locked in by a storm. Felt more could have been done with the characters. As it was done as a mostly slasher book, it could have been shorter. Think it would have worked better as a novella.

Clownflesh is my 15th book by this author. So far only three I have less than 50\100 and two above 90.
This was is like the vast majority. A 4 star book (or 75).
This book is set in a isolated town in USA after a snowstorm hits badly. Right from the bat the author starts introducing characters, some dying and some not. What's more interesting is that he gives them stories and personalities and in the same chapter kills them so you never know who is really "safe".
We have a main character which is the Sheriff, you've got his deputy, a couple of bikers, a barmaid and a couple of other characters. All of them quite different which is a plus. The monsters are also very cool, never really explain but you get hints that there is more than meets the eye. These clowns are not really clowns but something else, on this particular situation they are represented as clowns.
With 90+ chapters expect a fast pace thriller, horror novel and you get to understand that nobody is safe. The author also don't go into tropes, there is a biker with a swastika tattoo and a known criminal who is the leader of the bikers and his main right man is a Indian (American one) and they both are the ones that help the Sherriff the most. There is also the barmaid which is hot but it's not a "slut" as people see it but a person who just want to be left alone. It's very cool. After reading this I am going to give 80 points out of 100.
That's how volatile I am :)

Clownflesh ends up being fairly standard Curran fare with his skill at describing atavistic horror again on display, but his capacity to edit appropriately to create a well-paced narrative again lacking.
There are way too many chapters dedicated to a character with barely any backstory being introduced and killed off within five pages by the invading clowns. Two or three of these would have been plenty; fifteen (or so) of them is beyond overkill.
Then, when Curran finally gets his main characters into place for a big The Thing-like denouement, he races through the last 30 pages, before ending things so quickly, I was tapping forlornly at my Kindle, thinking there had to be more. That might sound like a good thing, but it's not. This felt like Curran grew bored and wanted to end this novel swiftly, maybe because he wanted to move onto his next idea.
A better editor who cut out many of the superfluous characters and their chapters which served only to illustrate the threat this town was up against - the point of which is well made later with the main characters - would have helped this read a great deal. Especially had Curran put his efforts into expanding the final battle into something truly epic instead of something that was over with inside a few less than satisfying pages.
2.5 (Rounding Up to 3) Radio Signals from Hell for Clownflesh.

knappe 3.5 ☆ - für mich nicht der beste Curran aber definitiv ein Pageturner mit viel Horror-Action.

There are horrors that exist in the dark corners of the world that gnaw on human bones.
4½ stars! OK, I need to put some things down in writing before I make my opinion known about Tim Curran's "Clownflesh". This is in part because I don't think anyone out there will really believe me and particularly because I'm still coming to grips with it myself. But know off the bat that this is a story about a small town in the Middle of Nowhere, South Dakota (or at least in the neighborhood of same) which the author describes as "a very unexceptional little town in the southeastern corner of the state". Then again it's also described as "a devastating blight that withers everything you are or can ever be into thorn-stemmed mortuary roses." Cheery, huh? Let's pack up the kids and move there pronto, eh honey?
This is a monstrous, malevolent wrath of pure evil wearing the skin of a clown.
And on this night some weeks after Christmas, they are being pounded by what will eventually turn into a storm for the ages, one that the author describes so well I actually felt enough chills to gain true relief from this fvcking on-going heatwave! But it is indeed a storm without mercy, one that seems to almost be controlled by the forces of hell itself as it tries to rip asunder this town and leave it buried in both drifts of frozen debris and bodies. Its inhabitants, who as you can no doubt guess, have far underestimated what they're in for over the next few hours. Still, to fall to hypothermia and just fall asleep and freeze to death might be thought of as a mercy by the time it's all said and done…
Death is not a metaphor nor an abstraction, but something with form and volume.
Because what then begins to happen is not only the stuff of nightmares, it is the nightmares themselves come to being. For suddenly from the blinding blizzard come … clowns. No, not happy clowns, the kind that exist to make children smile and scream with joy while they make joyful balloon animals. These are instead satanic beings that exist only to kill in the most brutal ways possible, all while making sure their victims' last moments are filled with more fear and terror than they've ever felt at any point in their entire lives. They arrive from the unknown and eventually find their way not only into your homes but your very souls. For this town with two bars, one sheriff and a whole lot of folks about to take their last breaths, Hell has arrived. And it has arrived wearing floppy shoes, colorful costumes, wild hairstyles… and fangs and claws and even worse that make the most terrifying of saurian hallucinations seem tame in comparison. The streets overflow with streaming blood by the end of this evening, which is a wonder considering the freezing conditions.
These clowns are not human… They’re something else. They’re monsters.
But I tell you (FINALLY!!! My big reveal!): "Clownflesh", for a totally gory bloodfest of horror and gruesomeness, is one of the best written books I've come across this year. And I've read some good ones! Curran has once again put together not only a worthy horror story but a well-written book that was just bluntly a pleasure to read. I mean, come on fans: when was the last time you read words like "pestiferous" while you were getting your fill of viscera and offal being flung about with abandon? And considering that we're not given terribly much to work with - a few town drunks, a biker gang, sorry, a "motorcycle club", some sad sack couples that couldn't escape this area under the best of conditions, and one sheriff that is in way, way over his head. Heck, even when the mysterious clown killer shows up to try and save the day if not the people themselves, we still don't really get the feeling ANYONE will make it through the night.
Outside, they can hear the wind moaning... It sounds evil, angry, and somehow voracious.
This is my second Curran book and just with his horror-slash-weird western "Skin Medicine", we are taken on an unrepentant ride of gore-filled goodness. Both works are about as splatterpunk-y as you're going to find without the pundits actually placing these stories in that sub-category. But if you do want to catalogue them as such, you won't get any arguments from me. Things… happen in these stories that will not leave your consciousness - sub- or otherwise - for quite some time. For the next weeks, I know that every time I hear a radio squawk or am invariably exposed to my neighbor's odd lunch-time music selections (ditto on the squawking sensations), I'll be wondering just what is coming over the airwaves and what may eventually materialize in the night or in my dreams. Or from within my own frail body...
His body is not a body at all but a writhing nest of alien worms that move beneath his flesh.
Now having said all that, there's still a few things that left me … hm, good word, good word… concerned (no that sucks, just pretend it was something really clever)? First of all, Curran chose an ending that was perhaps even both believable and necessary, but it was not, well, what I wanted. Yes, it happened literally from one sentence to the next, but I wanted, well, more. Explosions? Not enough, get me a few nukes, stat! But seriously, to have all of that "end" the way it did left me both breathless but also even turning my e-reader back and forth to see if I had missed something. Bottom-line here I think is that I'm being selfish AF and just plain wanted more.
They do not scream as they should—they just wait as a mouse in a snake’s cage waits for death.
A lot of this is obviously because I didn't feel like things were really finished. I mean, I know we only had two bars in town (we did right? There were two names! Tell me I didn't dream that, please!!!) but BOTH of them felt pretty darn infected. To have the big showdown in only one seemed, well, incomplete. Plus, I'm not convinced that the issue was solved in the slightest. For example, there's a scene on a bridge where one character becomes essentially a dead human / clown amalgam and falls to the ice and water below. Now, I don't know about you after you see these dreadful creatures in action, but I'm thinking that whatever wound up hitting the freezing river easily survived. So what happened to that creature, hm?
Its face looks like a fleshy white skull, its lips black, its eyes gleaming pockets of yellow pus.
Another thing I wasn't crazy about in terms of styling was Curran's really really short chapterlets, especially when one ended and the next just picked up again with the same person, same scene. This is what I call a kind of "American airport novel" approach, namely, where books are written this way so the readers get their wee flashes of dopamine for finishing a chapter in less than 3 minutes. Look, we have 93 chapters spread over roughly 356 pages, which gives an average of (carry the 7, multiply by Pi, divide by the actual GDP…) just under 4 pages per chapterchen. It just makes the flow a bit choppy in my brain, and that's with enough choppy chop chop going on in the actual story to satisfy anyone.
His flesh goes liquid and bubbling, hanging from his face in sluicing, steaming ribbons.
And my final comment is also kind of a greedy, gimme gimme gimme "complaint" (it's not but play along). What about (cue deep music please) The Next Day? Certainly someone, somewhere has to realize that everyone from Craw Falls has gone "missing" (as have most of their internal organs he added helpfully). And the whole "thank goodness for our Clown Hunters, they risk their lives for us" situation. That's certainly not a solo effort, not with the arsenal Clegg - who we learn ever-so-briefly was part of a secret brotherhood sworn to eradicate these things - was packing. Just to underline that, oh how I wish we had had more time with Clegg and his cute widdle puppykins!, both of whom were utterly kickass. Well, I guess we'll just have to gather keep meeting in places where people attempt to achieve advanced states of mental incompetence by the repeated consumption of fermented vegetable drinks (with apologies to "Red Dwarf" for stealing that line). But damn what a ride that would no doubt be! Great stuff!

I admittedly did not finish this book. I expected it to be somewhat cheesy but it was too much so. It read like a bad slasher flick. I made it a little over half way through but it wasn't scary or interesting -just gross. I admit defeat.

* Craw Falls gets engulfed in a blizzard, no ordinary blizzard either.
* Not only is this blizzard scary because of the weather it brings, but there is also something else lurking in it.
* Creepy, scary, murderous clowns are out in the blizzard waiting to descend on Craw Falls.
* Teague, the sheriff, and his deputy, Peanut, encounter a meeting with a man named Clegg who claims to be a clown hunter.
* Of course, they don’t believe him at first.
* However, one by one the townspeople run into the clowns and are met with gruesome endings.
* The clowns aren’t ordinary clowns either. They’re faces are unnatural and they are able to appear out of thin air. They can also speak to people directly through their thoughts.
* The sheriff joins forces with the Dead Skulls who are a notorious biker gang to try and stop the clowns from destroying their town.
* I thought this book would be right up my alley. Clowns, scary stories, murder....what’s not to like?
* First off this book is GORE central. From descriptions of the clowns appearances to the actual death scenes. I mean it’s super descriptive, probably some of the most descriptive stuff I’ve read.
* There are also some rape/ sexual assault scenes that I probably could’ve done without. So if that is a trigger for you or you just don’t like reading it, probably not the book for you.
* There is also a dog death scene that I could’ve really done without, especially since it’s a really graphic.
* One problem I had with the book is how drawn out it is. I feel like a few chapters are just so redundant and the same things are happening over and over again.
* The last few chapters could’ve come sooner in my personal opinion.
* I also felt that the townspeople were so wimpy. I get that the clowns are crazy hard to beat, but it was just a little annoying to see so little fight back from them.
* I really didn’t like the ending at all, it was just sort of frustrating and meh in my opinion.
* I thought the book was okay, but nothing exceptional or jaw dropping. If these things are up your alley, you might love it though.

This is my first reading of any Tim Curran work. I’ve heard of him and he sounds up my alley.
The positive: If you want a book that is like “The Thing” at all, this is very close. I love authors who choose to do this, it’s amazing horror storytelling. There is a lot of tension and suspense. Actual eldritch/horror descriptions are amazingly well done.
The negative: I almost put this book down. I don’t know, the characters were all so cardboard at first. You jump around with a lot of death scenes from random townspeople at the start, I think maybe it was just one too many times for me. For some, maybe this would be a positive, but more character building would have been fun. This story jumps right into the action, which is a positive in a way. Seeing a lot of deaths through characters eyes who aren’t immediately slaughtered would have possibly been better, but that possibly wouldn’t serve the overall feel Curran is going for (which is that this town is fucked lol).
The unsure: The ending comes up pretty quickly compared to what you may or may not expect. The closing scenes took me from 3 stars to 4, as Curran really dazzled with a horror extravaganza.
Maybe it was just my own biased mood when I started the story, but giving a book 4 stars (I’d do 3.5 if I could) when you almost put it down has to be flattering in a different way than a 5 star review. I will not follow up immediately, but Curran is definitely in my TBR list for some more books.

Certainly one of the best Lovecraftian clown monster novels I’ve ever read. Curran has a poet’s sensibility when it comes to detail, and this book goes above and beyond when it comes to gory, bloody, absurd clown violence. When it gets in a groove, it’s genuinely chilling and grotesque, with some really bizarre imagery that’s sure to keep a few readers up at night. But it just feels a little unfocused and can be a little unsatisfying.
There’s a sizable cast of characters and the book does a good job of getting into their psychological mindset. One of its biggest strengths is the nuanced portrayal of hopeless small town life. But then it also seems to go from person to person as they inevitably meet their horrible clowny fate without a real sense of an overarching plot.
I can appreciate a grim outlook in a horror novel, but this one just felt like it should have done more with its story. Still, it’s a big, meaty chunk of beautifully written, gory clown creature action with a handful of interesting characters.

The ending earned this book a star but there were a bunch of issues here. I like slasher books and this setting was very much like 30 Days of Night. But that is where the similarities end. This story seemed to be an experimental writing project. Write a story about monsters killing people. Clownflesh because they are clowns but they could have been anything. The fact that they were clowns had literally nothing to do with anything in the story.
At a couple of points in the story, the author tried to superglue some semblance of a plot and/or purpose together. There was something about a cell tower and it was suggested by the wizened vet (Clegg - awesome name) that this was how the monsters traveled to different points. There was something about how they toyed with their prey because fear seasoned the blood. But at the end of the day, the author kind of threw his hands up in the air and said fuck it.

Craw Falls is in the midst of a apocalyptic level snow storm and the people are trapped in town. To make matters worse bloodthirsty eldritch clowns are hell bent on eliminating all humans in the vicinity!
“What we’re going to do now might get ugly. In fact, I can assure you that it will get ugly, but there’s no other way. The killing of clowns is serious business.”
This was bloody and insane! The dread was palpable as you were ready. I mean, the concept is ridiculous, but put yourself in the shoes of the characters, and you’ll be afraid too.
Minus points for what happens to Trixie and the ending was not excellent.
