Jonathan Athan’s Do Not Disturb trilogy leans hard into its premise: killer clowns, coordinated chaos, and relentless carnage across isolated Nevada locations. Inspired by the 2016 clown sightings, the concept is fun, nasty, and perfectly primed for extreme horror fans who want maximum mayhem with minimal restraint.

The trilogy delivers exactly what it promises, vile, gory, and unapologetically mean-spirited violence. There were definitely moments that made me physically react (yes, I crossed my legs more than once), and Athan clearly knows how to push body horror and sexualised violence into deeply uncomfortable territory. If you’re here purely for shock value and splatter, you’ll be well fed.

That said, across all three books, the excess sometimes works against the story. The pacing can feel repetitive, with escalation replacing tension, and characters often exist purely to be brutalised rather than developed. The settings are interesting on paper, but they’re not always explored beyond serving as new stages for carnage. By the third book, the impact dulls slightly—not because it’s less extreme, but because it becomes predictable in its cruelty.

Great trilogy

Although I had previously read the 3rd book in this trilogy, it was still exciting reading it after the reading the first 2 in this set. Jon Athans imagination is fascinating and he has a flare for getting it just right. Keeping you entertained with a great strong storyline, amazing characters and then the extreme horrors throughout. Each book is set in a different locations with characters that has you enthralled with each page. It is not for the faint hearted and not for the easily offetned , but if you are a fan of extreme horror and haven't read any of this authors work. Well your missing out. I'd definitely recommend. This isn't his most extreme horror work but it's up there. These clowns are no joke and love nothing better than to entertain! Recommended!

Brilliant

It funny Jon athan, I started you book in during halloween because I wanted to read a horror book that made my skin crawl. You did the job for sure!!! I did just finish the book since I'm a slow reader also full time mom, parties school and full time job but I truly enjoy every minute of this book. I've never been scared of clowns but now when I see one I feel they are going to destroy my town. Lol

Gore! Clowns! Masterpiece!

I thoroughly enjoyed all three books! Shockingly, with the onslaught of pure, bloody carnage, every death was unique in both method and description. Nobody is safe in an Athan novel. NOBODY. Not women, not children, heck not even toddlers! If you love Splatterpunk, don’t miss this trilogy!
