Hey! It's been a very long time since my last update here. In fact, I've only posted two updates this year so far—and it's already August! So, I wanted to write something for those who don't follow me on Twitter and Facebook or don't follow the email newsletter. (Do it, you know you want to!) I'll make it quick, I swear!
A Boy Possessed is out now! Do you like The Exorcist? Are you a fan of my supernatural books, like Her Suffering and Madness at Madison Mall? If so, then I think you'll like this one. Scattershot is now available for pre-order, releasing on September 13th. (the day after my birthday *wink, wink*) If you've been waiting for my return to extreme horror, this is it. It's a very violent and disturbing book. If you're not into serial killers, I'll be releasing a new cannibal horror book titled City of Hunger on October 11th. Off the top of my head, you can think of it as Children of the Corn meets The Hills Have Eyes. This one is also very gruesome.
In November, I should be releasing a book titled Dr. Sadist. This is another standalone book in my 'Snuff Network' series, which includes Mr. Snuff and Ms. Vengeance. You do not have to read the previous books in order to read this one, though. That's the great thing about standalones. Dr. Sadist will be my longest book to date. And, it will most likely be my most violent book ever. I'm not trying to hype it up, I'm just telling it how it is. The first six chapters alone are incredibly violent. Keep your eyes peeled for this one.
In December, I might be taking a little break from the horror genre. I wrote a book earlier this year about a teacher who tries to find justice for a student who was attacked in a school bathroom. It has similar tones to my book The Law of Retaliation, but it's mostly a dark and disturbing mystery book. But, if you enjoy my books, I think you'll still like this one. It has some very violent surprise that I don't want you to miss and I just think it's a great story. Please give it a chance when it releases.
I'm still undecided when it comes to 2019, although I already have a book written for next year. Part of me wants to experiment with new subgenres within extreme horror, part of me wants to continue writing some of the same old stuff ("if it ain't broken, yadda yadda..."), and part of me wants to write bigger, more daring books, meaning I would stick to the same formula but make the books more epic. Of course, if I went with the latter, that would probably mean I couldn't release a book every month next year. So, I have some decisions to make.
Regardless, I think 2019 is going to be a good year. And I hope you've enjoyed my releases so far this year. Thanks for reading! I always appreciate it!

Book Sale!
I've been very busy these past few days. Unfortunately, I forgot to inform you about my ongoing sale! I have three books on sale for a few more days. You can find the exact time remaining for each deal on the respective book page. All of the deals end at the same time, too. Essentially, if you buy them all, you're getting three books for the price of one. That's a pretty solid deal if you ask me. Regardless, thanks for your interest and enjoy!

Writing Updates for May 2016!
Hello! First and foremost, Mr. Snuff released today. Thank you for making Mr. Snuff my most pre-ordered book. I hope you enjoy this violent tale of vengeance and depravity. If you haven't read it yet, you can head over to Amazon and purchase it for $2.99 or read it for free using your Kindle Unlimited subscription. Regardless, thank you for the support.
My new slasher, Butcher Road, will release on June 11, 2016. The proofreading and editing is practically complete, I'm just going through one more personal read to make sure it's a great product — by my standards, at least. You can also expect a new horror novel to be announced by the end of the month. This novel, dubbed Project: Family, will enter some taboo territory. It's a truly a dark tale.
What else have I been working on? Well, I actually finished the first draft of my first sci-fi/fantasy novel. It'll actually be my longest book to date. For those wondering, it's a novel inspired by Akira — the classic anime film and manga. You can expect a full reveal around July or August. Since I finished that draft, I've started writing the first draft for a new psychological horror novel. I'm excited to share more about that soon.
I've been very busy writing, editing, and reading. I hope you are enjoying the new books. Although they may not be perfect, I've truly enjoyed writing these novels/novellas. If you've read any of my books recently, thank you. I've said it before and I'll say it again: your readership keeps me going through my most pessimistic times.
Until next time,
Jon Athan

Writing Updates for April 2016!
Hello! It's that time of the month again. Yes, it's time for another update. Don't worry, I'll try to keep it short this month. First and foremost, Sinister Syndromes launched a few days ago. It's a horror novel about two violent serial killers with a pinch of black humor -- just a pinch, though. You can buy it for $2.99 or read it for free through Kindle Unlimited. Regardless, your readership is always appreciated.
Mr. Snuff is still releasing on May 12, 2016. I'm going through my final proofread, so I should be submitting the final draft in a week or two. It's also still a thriller about a father trying to avenge his slain daughter. I'm also continuing my work on a slasher for June 2016. Said slasher is inspired by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho, and Ed Gein. You can expect more details by the end of the month. I have plenty of other horror projects in the works, too. I won't bore you with the same details, though.
So, what's new? Well, I started outlining my first science-fiction/fantasy book this weekend. Considering I've only written horror for the past two or three years, this is a big change for me. The book is different from anything I've ever written. It's about a teenage psychic who is kidnapped by an oppressive government trying to harness his energy. I can already tell it's going to take quite some time to write, so don't expect to see it until the end of the year or 2017, but I'm dedicated to writing it.
Anyway, I look forward to sharing more with you in the near future. Thank you for your readership. I appreciate it more than you can possibly imagine. Have a great week and keep reading!
Until next time,
Jon Athan
