 "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 (c) Rabid Iguana Press |

New Zombie Anthology. It was bound to happen sooner or later. And thank god it happened. Stephen Jones, who I have mercilessly teased over the years for his hatred of all Elvis, who in turn has badgered me to no end, invited me to be a part of his most recent  anthological endeavor. Not to be left out of the
current
zombie anthology trend, Steve edited The Dead That
Walk. It
has an awesome lineup, one which I'm very proud to be a part.
My story is
called The Crossing of Aldo Ray and is about a Mexican-American caught
south of
the Mexican American Border, who has to pretend he's a zombie
to get
across to America. The anthology is available at all the usual places. Here's the link at Amazon. The book will be available in November.

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.
