WLW is a
recurring blog segment in which I highlight a book I have on my wish
list. Sometimes it's a new release, sometimes a beloved classic, and
sometimes it's a hidden gem.
When
I started reading through the anthologies on my to-be-read pile, in
preparation for the Summer of Shorts marathon, I read stories
by accomplished writers whose work I'd yet to read. One name that
popped up in a couple tables of contents was that of Weston Ochse.
The guy, to put it plainly, is a great
storyteller. And, as it turns out, I already had this particular
book on my wish list when it was first advertised by Dark RegionsPress. Granted, that was based solely on the incredible cover--I
hadn't even read one of his stories yet.
Multiplex
Fandango brings together
sixteen of Ochse's best short stories from over the years, some of
the more macabre, more horrific stories in his repertoire. And if
they're anything like the ones I've read in House
of Fear and Corrupts
Absolutely?, then I
think I would love this book to death.
Have you had a chance to read his work
before? If so, got any other recommendations?
