Weston Ochse



"Make way for a new powerhouse on the block. With creative brawn, brains, and balls, the guy's locked, loaded, and switched to full-auto, blazing away with his unique and original brand of modern horror, one of the few new writers, I'd say, who will help re-define the field for the future."
  - Edward Lee, author of City Infernal







"Weston Ochse knows the depths of human courage and depravity better than most writers."
- 
Tom Piccirilli, author of Headstone City.




“It's obvious to see why Weston Ochse won a Stoker Award for his first novel. If you need proof, crack open Recalled to Life and read the first chapter. After that it's much easier to understand the award and much harder to put down the book."
- James A. Moore, author of Harvest Moon




"Vampire Outlaw of the Milky Way is what would happen if Ray Bradbury and Lin Carter got together to write a space opera.  Only Weston Ochse could write something like this.  In lesser hands, it would fall apart.  Weston is one of the best authors of our generations." 
- Brian Keene, author of Ghoul and Terminal

Welcome to the Home of Weston Ochse.  

Blaze of Glory up for Preorder:
My first novel in two years is now available for preorder.  Here's what the publisher had to say about the book and cover.  "Weston's work always has so much going on," said the editor from Bloodletting Press. "In Blaze of Glory we have killer worms, a crack-addled granny who speaks prophetically in nursery rhymes, a young kid who discovers magic in the theme to ROCKY, references to Dylan Thomas, the Fantastic Four and Little Bunny Foo Foo, and a used car salesman who finds is last true love in a street walker. But you can't fit all of that into a cover, so I distilled everything about Weston's novel and tried to capture the spirit. The vintage pulpy feel is all about Weston."  Read the article in Fear Zone or go directly to Horror Mall to reserve your copy before it sells out.


Podcast Short Story Collection - From FEARZONE.COM "
You're traveling through the Appalachian Mountains and suddenly your son goes missing. You're fishing on a wide southern lake, only to be taken underwater by a fish so powerful it must be a god. Your rifle is trained on an outhouse Easter morning as you wait for the hordes of hell to slither and explode forth, your prayers and aim the salvation for humanity. Your toes dangle in the water, languidly, as you bask in the sweet smells of summer, unaware that something is under the water, staring at you, hidden by the reflection of the trees and a perfect blue sky.  Experience all these and more in Bram Stoker award-winning author, Weston Ochse's first podcast short story collection.
