Silence of the Clowns

A failed med school prank leaves little to laugh about.Four former medical students and an artistic friend set out to prank an anatomy class with a dozen cadavers made up as clowns. A problem arises when the prosthetic implants, designed to make the clowns sit up on command, turn out to be more capable than anyone expected. But how much trouble can walking cadaver clowns with lighted noses cause?The city of Baltimore glows red for several hours, while the pranksters and the people they call in for help learn that the clowns are not just lethal; they have plans that threaten them, their families, and their colleagues in ways no one could have imagined.Frightening moments, shocking casualties, and occasional quirky splashes of humor fill the dark hours in this story. Despite the bizarre events, this is a tale grounded in reality, more or less, with no trace of the supernatural.
