Jokers Club by Gregory Bastianelli

A LibraryThing Review

61yN68ISKZL__AA115_

Ok story but not very original. While reading this novel I kept recognizing parts from other, more popular stories. It is set in a small New England town ala Stephen King. There's the person climbing out of the well (The Ring) and the ever-present Joker which is reminiscent of Pennywise the Clown from Stephen King's "It". And the ending seemed to mirror the endings of several popular films from the past few years.

I wanted to enjoyed it more but it was very predictable. Or as the Joker himself said, "A little contrived isn't it?"
