My name is J.W. Ocker. And this is my website. OTIS. It's a chronicle of my visits to the unusual and an author site for my books. You can also party with me on Facebook, Tiktok, Instagram, and Patreon. Reach out to me at ockerjw@gmail.com.
Behold! The covers of my newest books. In Don't Go There (out 7/14), I explore some of the weirdest, most dangerous, and scariest swaths of this planet. We're not talking haunted houses and abandoned asylums, we're talking entire seas and forests and deserts and island.
In Chasing the Headless Horseman (out 9/29), I explore a New York village themed entirely around a ghost story, albeit the most famous ghost story in all American literature: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I visit all the historical sites and attractions of this Halloween Town in October, and talk to everyone from the mayor to the cemetery caretaker to Hollywood specifical effects artists to fit this strange town during its strangest time of year into a book.
