Jon Athan is an author from California. Jon was born on September 12, 1992 during a stormy night. As a child, he enjoyed writing and telling scary short stories. Some of these stories got him into some serious trouble with his teachers, but he persevered through the detentions and therapy sessions. (One of those didn't actually happen.) As an adult, Jon has published over 100 short horror stories and several novels. He is a prolific author of dark fiction, known for his shocking horror novels. However, he also dabbles in science-fiction and fantasy. Regardless of genre, Jon does not compromise his vision. His deep-rooted love for horror and storytelling has kept him going through the years.

Other than his love for horror and writing, Jon loves films, especially Korean movies, electronics, video games, and music. He also loves Japanese and Korean culture. In his spare time, he writes movie reviews for several websites and enjoys helping others accomplish their goals. He even writes helpful books for other authors under the pen name "Jonathan Wright."

I am a seasoned horror vet and have been consuming art from the genre for my whole life. One of author Jon Athan’s greatest writing qualities is his ability to shock and disturbed even hardened fans like myself. So many times during Cannibal Creek did I wince and shudder at the brutality on the page. A great, easy and quick read, that is highly entertaining and highly disturbing.

I really love reading you're books. But this one seemed to not have as good gory stuff like you're other books. I've downloaded every book of yours so I can read them. I love a lot of gore blood. Thank you for writing these good books.

Yet again Jon surprised me with this amazing novel. There are some amazing throwbacks to a few classic horror movies, that I enjoyed watching growing up. And I LOVE dark horror. BE WARNED THIS NOVEL IS NOT FOR THOSE WHO CANT STAND GRUESOME HORROR. with that being said I'm more than certain this poor author is going to be chewed out for some of the death scenes. Even though there were warnings.

I, being a fellow author fell in love with this authors writing style, flow and description. I felt like I was watching an amazing movie, directed by a orchestra conductor.

It is my personal mission to finish as many books by this author as I can. Simply because I love his work that much.

The book started out great, the climax was great, the ending- left me hanging and needing-wanting more. This book was not gory which is a disappointment. I really enjoyed this author but I’m realizing that not all of his book have that gory, shock factor I crave.

from the minute I started this, I was hooked.....I have read several by Jon Athan and have yet to be disappointed......at the start, I was reminded by the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, where group picks up hitchhiker and then ditches him but it's so different from there......no one in this family took the camp fire stories seriously until they came true......the pace was very solid......it was filled with GORE and lots of it.....subject matter?? well some may be offended by parts but I've seen nothing here I haven't seen from other horror writers so no problem with me...for those that find the writing style juvenile?? I just don't know what they were reading

2.0 out of 5 stars Needs More Warnings
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2020

Both the back cover and the beginning of the book have warnings about the extreme graphic violence in the story. Unfortunately, the author should also have included a warning about the bad writing. Seriously, this reads like it was written by a high school kid. The descriptions are weak, the characters one-dimensional and the sentences beyond simple. And what's up with using the metric system? At first I thought the author might be British, along with repeatedly referring to the ground (outside) as the floor. Yeah, I know we refer to the forest floor, but this just seemed weird.

As for the story, it's your typical cannibalistic hillbilly horror tale. The thing is, let's face it, there aren't that many new things out there anymore when it comes to horror. In fact, the old cliches can be good if they're executed well. This one just isn't. There are better takes on the exact same theme. Richard Laymon's "The Woods are Dark," while not great, is certainly a better take on the genre. Even Lee Mountford's "Horror in the Woods" adds a bit of a twist. This is just banal and actually not even that extreme. You can watch any number of Japanese horror movies that are far more extreme than what you get in here. But the main problem is that the writing is so poor that it's hard to envision myself reading another book by this guy. I read a ton of horror and I like to try different authors, usually without knowing too much in advance. Sadly, this was a bit of a letdown. Maybe his other stuff is better....

This definitely needs a part 2. You can’t leave us hanging Jon!!!
Loved this one. It kept me on the edge of my seat, couldn’t put it down. If you like on edge, extreme horror, grab this one, curl up, and get ready for the ride of a lifetime.

4.0 out of 5 stars Non il migliore ma godibilissimo
Reviewed in Italy on December 6, 2023

In realtà questo libro è da tre stelline, rapportato agli altri due che ho letto dell'autore, ovvero Night of the Prowler e Our Dead Girlfriend. Tuttavia Jon Athan è davvero bravo a scrivere e a creare storie extreme horror scorrevoli, violente e disturbanti. E poi adoro le sue postfazioni!

Entrando nello specifico, Cannibal Creek può piacere a chi come me adora lo slasher e il rural horror. Se vi sono piaciuti The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills have eyes e Wrong Turn, è sicuramente un romanzo che fa per voi. Ci sono scene specifiche che sono riprese dal film di Tobe Hooper e che gli appassionati capiranno subito. Ciò non toglie che l'autore le abbia rielaborare in modo originale.
Avrei però voluto un po' più di approfondimento sui cannibali e sui loro rapporti interni, nonché più scene estreme e degradanti, ma è soggettivo.
Sicuramente continuerò ad esplorare la produzione di Jon Athan che è entrato a far parte definitivamente nel novero dei miei autori Exteme Horror preferiti.

I enjoyed that story so much actually, it was interesting. My first book by the author. It was SCARY but at the same time, I felt like the characters were dying way too fast for where the story was heading. Not even half of the book and there's only 1 main character left alive. I was left wondering what was going to happen with that story in general. I guess I would have loved to see a little more of the characters, get to know them a little bit better.

The author humbly tells his influences at the end of the book, and I recognised every one of them in the story, if you like the hill have eyes, wrong turn, Texas chainsaw massacre then this is the book for you. You will recognise a load of scenes, but there are plenty of new spins to keep you shocked, cause let's be honest that's why your reading it. Well the author does this in spades, you will be surprised by the kinda violence they can't show on the big screen. I really liked this read. It was easier to digest than juicy leg steak. Note for author I'm not sure but I think you may be using the gist out of context, I only mention cause it's at the end of the book, I think it's a noun only, but I could be taking a wrong turn. Sorry! That was the last pun.
