Synopsis

Jaunty the Clown just wants to entertain families with lighthearted slapstick antics, but people think of clowns as terrifying, nightmarish creatures who hide in closets or under beds. When Jaunty, along with his fellow performers Guffaw, Wagon, Reginald The Pleasant Clown, and Bluehead are fired from the circus, they're told that the world just doesn't like clowns anymore.

Still, clowns have to eat. And since these clowns don't eat children, to make ends meet they're eventually forced to take a job in a popular haunted attraction, the Mountain of Terror. Instead of charming entertainers, they're now scary clowns. A zombie clown. A demon clown. A creepy doll clown.

But the town is about to discover something more frightening than clowns. Because on opening night, millions of oversized spiders emerge from a cave and begin their deadly invasion . . .

From Bram Stoker Award-nominated author Jeff Strand comes an insane mix of shameless silliness and grisly creepy-crawly horror. Clowns Vs. Spiders. Who will win?

About Jeff Strand

Jeff Strand's bio was funnier when he talked about losing the Bram Stoker Award four times, but he's now a Bram Stoker Award winner!

His novels are usually classified as horror, but they're really all over the place, almost always with a great big dose of humor. He's written five young adult novels that all fall into the "really goofy comedy" category.

Several of his books are in development as motion pictures, and he's mostly not allowed to blab any details, which he finds maddening.

He currently lives in sunny, warm Duluth, Minnesota.

Goodreads review by Justin

Clowns and spiders have been trending lately, and leave it to Jeff Strand to make an apocalyptic horror/comedy mash-up. Consider this fabulous premise: a troop of ex-circus performers take a job as scary clowns at a haunted house to make ends meet. They hate promoting the scary clown stereotype when......more

Goodreads review by Bridgett

“What can I tell you?” said the circus owner, Mr. Gristle. “People just don’t like clowns.” I'm one of those people. I don't find clowns particularly scary, but neither do I find their specific brand of humor 'delightful' either. Then again, I'm also the girl who has owned tarantulas on and off t......more

Goodreads review by Michelle

What an entertaining read! I have a clown phobia but the clowns in this book are wonderfully friendly and nice. The spiders, however, were a bunch of dicks. In usual Jeff Strand fashion this book was action packed yet funny and full of heart.......more
