Ride out the clownpocalypse with some creepy books
Clowns are inherently creepy. Even if you’re not afraid of them, they’ve become such a staple in the horror genre that they’ve lost their innocent appeal and all clowns have been tainted by association, thanks to Poltergeist, Pennywise, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Twisty the Clown, this awesome Oingo Boingo song, etc…
Now more than ever, the menace under the makeup is being acknowledged, and these books are not going to relieve anyone’s mistrust. Not every book in this list is a horror novel, or even a novel in some cases, but if you’re coulrophobic, no clown is a safe clown.
