Multiplex Fandango Up for Pre-order

Tomorrow is the BIG Day. Multiplex Fandango is up for pre-order at Dark Regions Press. Some of you may have heard about it, but this is my master work of short fiction. Please if you have a moment and an inclination, jump over to Dark Regions at this link and pre-order the book.

If you haven't yet heard about it. The cover art was done by Vince Chong. Joe Lansdale provided an introduction for the book. So far it's gotten some fantastic reviews. Surely, this collection has my very best work, encompassing 15 years of writing. I've written 6 original tales for this collection. Of my 100+ published short stories, I selected ten. So Multiplex Fandango has 16 stories for hours of fearful reading.

I could share the blurbs that have been coming in, but I won't inundate you. The  latest blurb came in just today, though, so let me share that. You all might not know Dani and Eytan Kollin, but they are the authors of The Unincorporated Man (Tor Books), which exploded onto the science fiction scene, winning the coveted Prometheus Award.  I read it with awe, amazed that such an original idea and a well-written book could be written by first time authors. Since then they've gone to write quite a bit more. Here's what Dani had to say about Multiplex Fandango


The Unincorporated Man"Weston Ochse is to horror what Bradbury is to science fiction -- an artist whose craft, stories and voice are so distinct and mesmerizing that you can't help but be enthralled. Multiplex Fandango is yet another in a long line of exclamation points that reminds us of that fact." -- Dani Kollin, Prometheus Award-winning author of The Unincorporated Man



That he compared me to Ray Bradbury is most humbling. I dedicated Multiplex Fandango to Messrs Bradbury and Lansdale. I think they are absolute masters of the craft. So to be compared with Mr. Bradbury is a lifelong dream.

So do me a favor and go over to Dark Regions Press, please.  I the meantime, you can check out my uber-cool trailer. Feel free to shoot me a comment now and then too.

  1. Hey Weston,

    Any chance that Multiplex Fandango and Blaze of Glory will eventually be available for sale as epubs?

    I would soooo put them on my "must purchase for my Nook with the very next paycheck" list.

    Anyway, congrats on the stellar release!

  2. Blaze of Glory maybe. I've been asked by a bunch of folks for that.

    We'll see about Multiplex Fandango. Dark Regions has the rights for a few years, so we'll have to see what they have planned.
