Regarding Vampire Outlaw of the Milky Way: "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 Keen Regarding Scarecrow Gods: "Robert McCammon fans rejoice!  A new voice has risen from the ranks to pick up where the master left off.  Weston Ochse is one of today's most promising talents, and Scarecrow Gods is a masterful tale—heartening and satisfying."  Brian Knight "THE MOST IMPRESSIVE NOVEL I'VE READ THIS YEAR.  Scarecrow Gods is an epic nightmare told by a writer who made me sit up and pay attention from the very first line.  Once you meet Maggot Man and the other characters who are waiting for you in this book, you'll be spellbound, too.  With a steady sweep of his powerful and unflinching imagination, Weston Ochse gallops from horror to original horror, charting an extraordinary journey into darkness that will leave you speechless because your jaw will have already fallen to the floor.  From the philosophical to the funny, the tragic to the terrifying, the nostalgic to the unnerving, this dark fantasy has it all and then some, pushing your expectations way over the edge and leaving you wanting more.  Few books dare to make you think and feel the way this one does.  This book is a major accomplishment by a writer who well might be on his way to becoming horror's next big thing."  -- Michael Arnzen "A novel whose horror is comprised of a collection of hells. The hellish terrors of war, blind faith, intolerance, and outright demonic attack.  Weston Ochse succeeds in creating a complex plot that casts a brutal overwhelming spell."  Tom Piccirilli "Scarecrow Gods is a brilliant epic of terror that will remind genre fans of Robert R. McCammon's finest work and King & Straub's fantastical The Talisman. The characters are some of the most memorable I've come across, leaping off the page and imprinting themselves on your imagination. Scarecrow Gods is a big, vivid feast." Cemetery Dance Weekly "Scarecrow Gods is a powerful tale of love, family and personal demons. It's a shame Ochse's first novel will reach such a limited audience because it's obvious this born story teller has a lot to tell. For those that can afford this limited edition, do yourself a favor and do not pass it up. "  Horror World Review Regarding the short story Family Man: “Family Man” was brilliantly rendered.  What was so impressive about the piece was that I did not doubt the incredible heroism of the protagonist ... nor his motivation."  Andrew Vachss “Family Man” is a terrific story.  I'm an ex G.I, so the story gave me chills--even while reading it in the bright Florida sunshine."  Owl Goingback Regarding Scary Rednecks and Other Inbred Horrors: "The more I read and re-read this collection, the more I am moved by the stories.  I really can't recommend this one enough.  I will say that it's more than its cover promises.  Several of the stories are as touching as they are chilling.  A few are hilarious.  Almost all of them are absorbing.  This is impressive."  Doug Clegg "This is better than the hype.  I don't want to go overboard, but stories in the book will remind many readers of the good stuff by Edward Lee and Joe Lansdale and probably Bill Faulkner.  There were times, reading some of them, when I was put in mind of Flannery O'Connor."  Richard Laymon "Once a year, the field of horror literature produces a short story, novel, anthology or collection that pushes the limits, breaks new ground and raises the genre to new heights. This is such a book. Their voice is unique, a mix of Edward Lee, Tom Piccirilli, Nietzsche, Sam Kinison, and Steinbeck. Place those ingredients in a blender, shake well, and the result is this book."
