Scott Roche's Omniverse

Subscribing to the Omniverse will get you everything from short fiction to serialized versions of my longer works. This podcast featuries voices from around the internet. My stories run the gamut from horror to literary fiction. As a multi-genre author, two of my key inspirations are Stephen King and Ray Bradbury. As those men did, I strive to use all the tools in my toolbox to weave stories that have rich characters in weird and wonderful situations.
