About this author

Michael Offutt writes speculative fiction books that have science fiction, GLBT, and paranormal elements. His first book, "Slipstream" has received some critical acclaim and was published by Double Dragon in the spring. The sequel, "Oculus" is slated to be published in 2013. He has one brother, no pets, and a few roots that keep his tree of life sufficiently watered. By day, he works for the State of Utah as a Technical Specialist. By night, he watches lots of t.v., writes, draws, and sometimes dreams of chocolate.

Michael Offutt graduated from the University of Idaho in 1994 with a Bachelor's degree in English.

He keeps a blog and would appreciate a visit or two even if all you want to do is say hi.


Today I'm participating in the Best and Worst Movie Remakes Blogfest :) When Hollywood runs out of ideas, they remake older films. Sometimes this works, and sometimes it fails miserably.

The object of the blog fest is to list the best remake you’ve ever seen and the worst.

Oculus by Michael Offutt
" I'll keep it simple.

Oculus is even better than its predecessor.

The writing is very concise and tight. There's just enough detail to give you a vivid image in your mind, but it's the strength of characters that drives this book.

You can't help but... "

“Vibrations caused by powerful turbines stirred Kathy from a dream centered around a funeral. Her eyes flicked open, face dry, and she had no idea where she was. In her dream, she saw crystalline silver spiders again, weaving their way through the graveyard, leaving trails of silver webs over corpses, binding them for some unknown purpose in the cold dark earth.”
Michael Offutt, Slipstream
