About the author

Christopher D. Ochs dove headfirst into speculative fiction with his epic fantasy "Pindlebryth of Lenland." While scaring audiences with the Lehigh Valley Storytellers Guild, he crafted "If I Can't Sleep, You Can't Sleep," a collection of the mirthful macabre. "My Friend Jackson," is a gritty and gripping YA Urban Fantasy/Horror, and a Finalist in Indies Today's Best Books of 2020. His latest novel, "Eldritch, Inc." is a whimsical tale of science-fiction, fantasy, and horror with a soupçon of humor.

His short stories have been published in award-winning anthologies from the Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Group and Bethlehem Writers Group, including "Fur, Feathers & Scales," Winner of the 2020 Indies Book Awards.

Chris has too many interests for his own damn good. Throughout his careers in physics, electrical engineering and software, CGI animation, as classical organist, and voice talent, writing has always been a buried passion that finally has burst through the ground and shambles toward its time in the sun.

Reviews

[W.C. Clinton · Rating 3 out of 5]

This anthology is a mixed bag, as one should expect based on the description on the back cover - "The aim of these anthologies is manifold: provide unpublished members an avenue to display their talent; allow published members to increase their portfolios; and teach our members the discipline of self-publishing." The stories range across genre and tone, so while not every story may be up the individual reader's alley, there will be some that appeal to every taste. This is a good collection of varied stories that will especially interest readers looking for fresh voices and emerging talent.
