Adam Cesare is an American horror author and comic book writer who has been publishing since 2009. He spent his early career writing small-press horror novels and novellas like Tribesmen, Video Night, and The Summer Job, building a reputation among horror fans for his love of slasher films and B-movie culture. His fiction often draws on 1980s horror movie tropes while putting them into new settings and situations.
His breakthrough came with Clown in a Cornfield (2020), a YA horror novel about a killer clown terrorizing a small town. The book was picked up by HarperTeen and became a commercial success, leading to sequels including Frendo Lives, The Church of Frendo, and Lights! Camera! Frendo! (2026). The Clown in a Cornfield series blends slasher horror with social commentary about generational conflict and small-town politics.
On the comics side, Cesare has written extensively for BOOM! Studios’ Power Rangers line and worked on Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance comic series. He also wrote the graphic novel Dead Mall and the Toxic Avenger movie novelization. His work spans from indie horror to mainstream YA to licensed comics, making him one of the more versatile horror-adjacent writers working today.
