Funny Taste Book Review by Matt Boiselle<\/strong><\/p>\n Some horror novels hook you with a creepy old house. Others rely on haunted woods or abandoned hospitals. Funny Taste<\/em>\u00a0takes a different approach by asking a simple question:\u00a0What if your summer job at a rundown burger joint turned into your worst nightmare?<\/strong>\u00a0Needless to say, I was all in.<\/p>\n Set on Birch Island,\u00a0Funny Taste<\/em>\u00a0centers around Clown Town Burgers, a run-down restaurant that\u2019s somehow managed to build a cult following despite looking like it\u2019s been frozen in the 1980s. The burgers keep customers coming back, but the restaurant has another attraction lurking in the shadows\u2014its twisted founder, who still stalks the halls dressed as the establishment\u2019s iconic clown mascot.\u00a0Angela is just looking for a summer job, but it doesn\u2019t take long before she realizes she\u2019s signed up for something far more terrifying than flipping burgers and working the late shift. From there, Jacob Marsh serves up a fast-paced horror story packed with mounting tension, memorable scares, and enough creepy clown moments to make you think twice before pulling into any roadside burger stand.\u00a0What I really appreciated about\u00a0Funny Taste<\/em>\u00a0is that it never loses sight of what it\u2019s trying to be. This isn\u2019t a slow-burn psychological drama or a dense piece of literary horror. It\u2019s an entertaining creature feature with slasher vibes that knows exactly when to crank up the suspense and when to let the fun take over. Marsh clearly understands what horror fans are looking for, and he delivers it without overcomplicating things.<\/p>\n The setting deserves a lot of credit, too. Clown Town Burgers almost becomes a character itself. Between the faded d\u00e9cor, late-night atmosphere, empty dining room, and the feeling that something is always watching from just out of sight, the restaurant creates the perfect backdrop for the story. It\u2019s the kind of place you can picture vividly\u2014and probably wouldn\u2019t want to visit after finishing the book.\u00a0Without giving anything away, the horror elements are handled well, the pacing keeps the pages turning, and the story wastes very little time getting you invested. There are plenty of tense moments, a healthy dose of gruesome surprises, and enough mystery surrounding the restaurant and its infamous founder to keep you guessing right up until the end.\u00a0One of the things I enjoyed most was how effortlessly readable the novel is. It\u2019s the kind of book where you tell yourself you\u2019ll read one more chapter before bed\u2026and suddenly you\u2019ve knocked out half the novel. That\u2019s always a good sign.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a fan of creepy clowns, late-night horror, slasher-style stories, or simply enjoy books that feel like they\u2019d make an awesome horror movie,\u00a0Funny Taste<\/em>\u00a0deserves a spot on your reading list. Jacob Marsh has crafted an entertaining ride that\u2019s equal parts unsettling and fun, proving once again that some of the scariest places aren\u2019t haunted houses\u2014they\u2019re the places serving dinner after midnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Funny Taste Book Review by Matt Boiselle Some horror novels hook you with a creepy old house.
