Description

You think you’re having a rotten day? When nine year old Frank Frandoza’s father goes on the lam, Frank is sentenced to attend public school, asphyxiated in a cave-in and awakens in a surreal realm known as the Seam. The Seam houses the essence of the comatose and unconscious and is overseen by a literal big cheese: a giant dairy product who’s exceeded his expiration date.

The fabric of the Seam has begun to fray. Numbed by their surroundings and oblivious to time, the residents are morphing into physical manifestations of their personalities and losing all memory of their former lives. Meanwhile, an unseen malevolent force conspires to prevent any of them from ever returning to the corporeal world.

Frank and new-found friend and guardian Ivan Blastov soon cross paths with Harvey Melodrama, the only person known to have toggled between realms. Confronted at every turn by misfits, grotesques and villains, Frank, Ivan, Harvey and a shaggy group of improbable heroes devise an escape plan which may end with all of them wounded, dead or worse: hellbent on returning to the Seam to save our world.

A vigorously shaken cocktail of social satire and juvenile whimsy "In the Seam" is about hope, comaraderie, polecats, rock n’roll and what happens when the stories we tell intertwine with the stories we live.

Author Bio:

Kirk James Folk is a musician, artist and after endless dilly-dally, author. He resides in Southern Pennsylvania, where they no longer enjoy Spring or Fall. Summer lurches into Winter, and Winter sneezes back into Summer without apology or remorse. He lives with his 15 year old son and 85 year old mother. Yes, you read that correctly. Karma has an evil sense of humor.

“In the Seam” was written for Kirk’s son, Skylar and is his first novel. If you know the author and his son, you may be able to spot them both lurking throughout. Or not.
