Adam Cesare’s slasher franchise Clown in a Cornfield now includes three books and a feature film adaptation, and the fourth installment in the novel franchise is headed our way.
Bloody Disgusting can exclusively reveal the cover artwork and synopsis for Clown in a Cornfield 4: Lights! Camera! Frendo!, which will be released on August 18, 2026.
Pre-orders for the fourth installment are now live on Amazon, and you can also pre-order copies signed by Adam Cesare through his local bookstore, Children’s Book World.
Cesare exclusively tells Bloody Disgusting, “there’s a bunch of returning characters in this installment (for all the readers who missed these specific guys, as they mostly sat part 3 out).”
Here’s the official synopsis for the meta fourth installment:
“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.
“A meditation on the villains inside us all, it’s the latest installment of Adam Cesare’s Bram Stoker Award-winning series, Clown in a Cornfield.”
Clown in a Cornfield 4‘s cover artwork was created by artist Matt Ryan Tobin.
