COULROTOPIA is a killer robot clown horror story with a clever conceit for why the robot clowns would suddenly turn murderous. It establishes characters swiftly so that by the time the violence starts the reader is invested in whether or not they survive the ordeal. It’s fast-paced, gory without being overly graphic, and overall a great short story. There’s several very cool character moments, conversations that I had not expected to turn funny, and a really sweet and thoughtful relationship between a couple attending the circus.
