Bad Clowns Review: Bad Clowns Revealed - Well researched and written. The scholarly approach is anything but dry in Ben's hands. He tells a good story with wit and subtle humor. I have had a lifelong distaste for clowns ever since a circus clown, looking for a magic-trick volunteer, told me to sit down because he preferred the pretty blonde girl next to me. I was 6 years old with red hair and freckles. This book confirms every bad thought I've had about bad clowns and I no longer feel guilty about disliking them. Now I can enjoy disliking them and quit being freaked out. Thanks, Ben. Review: Curious About Clowns? - Are you scared of clowns? My best friend is terrified of them. A few years ago, for Halloween we went to a haunted house attraction that featured creepy crowns and she started crying. I’m not nearly that sensitive about them, but I have to admit, the original IT adaptation terrified me as a kid, and I think the novel is King’s scariest work. So I was immediately curious about Benjamin Radford’s study, Bad Clowns. It covers everything from the diabolical Punch of puppet theatre, to clown movies like IT, to John Wayne Gacey and urban legends of phantom clowns. It’s not a perfect book, but it’s well researched and covers a broader spectrum of topics than I would have expected. While some topics could have received more discussion (and some could have received less-I admit I had to skip most of the chapter on Clown sex for the sake of my mental well-being). I thought the opening history of clowns, as well as the discussion of why people fear them to be particularly interesting. I recommend this book to people who are afraid of clowns and want to face that fear, as well as to people who think clowns are creepy cool. It’s well researched, interesting, and original, and I definitely learned a lot. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,104,823 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,993 in Folklore & Mythology Studies #2,552 in Popular Culture in Social Sciences | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (30) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.5 x 9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0826356664 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0826356666 | | Item Weight | 12 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 216 pages | | Publication date | April 1, 2016 | | Publisher | UNM Press | ## Images ![Bad Clowns - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hcPJbIjvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bad Clowns Revealed *by 5***A on April 4, 2017* Well researched and written.

It just didn't hold my interest. The author has lots of information but kind of rambles and loses the reader. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/39960381-bad-clowns](https://www.desertcart.at/products/39960381-bad-clowns) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
