About

Jess Koch (pronounced kɔχ) is an author of short stories, flash fiction, and several novels-in-progress. She primarily writes weird fiction, horror, and dark science fiction/fantasy but occasionally writes non-fiction and literary fiction. Her stories have been published or are forthcoming in Metaphorosis Magazine, Fusion Fragment, Brilliant Flash Fiction, and others. She holds an MFA from the Stonecoast Writers’ Program where she concentrated in popular fiction.

Jess is of German, Irish, French, and Native American descent (among others). She grew up on an island off the coast of Maine and her work is deeply influenced by the fishing villages, jagged coast, and pine forests of her childhood. She now lives in a pre-civil war colonial somewhere in New England with her partner, dog, and probably a few ghosts.
