About the Book

The Folger Variation follows three interconnected lives throughout different strands of time. Pancake: Pancake Patterson is a former jazz musician who spends all his time roaming the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles, frequenting abandoned factories and participating in Russian Roulette tournaments, but what exactly is Ol' Pancake running away from? The Folger Variation: Arthur Folger has it all. Since his grandfather gave him a time machine, Folger has been living the high life but he can't find a time-line where his beloved girlfriend Deborah manages to survive a gas explosion. Last Exit to Interzone: Kip Novikov is a Glasgow time detective who is sought out by William Burroughs to help clean up a little problem. Novikov seeks out the help of Hubert Selby Jr.

Review :
"Chris Kelso is a writer of almost intimidating intelligence, wit, and imagination. On every page there is evidence of a great mind at work. Just when you're wondering if there are actually still writers out there who still feel and live their ideas out on the page, I come across a writer like Kelso, and suddenly the future feels a lot more optimistic. One calls to mind Burroughs, and Trocchi's more verbose offerings - whilst remaining uniquely himself, in a writer as young as he is, is a very encouraging sign: one of maturity that belies his youth. I look forward to reading more from him in the near future." - Andrew Raymond Drennan, author of The immaculate Heart "Chris Kelso sets his photonic crystal gun on KILL and takes no prisoners. My favorite era of science fiction was the 60s "New Wave" when the British magazine NEW WORLDS took front and centre, and there's a bit of NEW WORLDS here, kind of like Jerry Cornelius using the cut-up method in a bungalow in Glasgow, with a splash of Warren Ellis added for extra flavour. Kelso has a compelling voice. Somewhere Papa Burroughs is smiling." -L.L. Soares, author of LIFE RAGE and IN SICKNESS "Chris Kelso is an important satirist, I think it's safe to say." - Anna Tambour, author of Crandolin "Someday soon people will be naming him as one of their own influences" - INTERZONE magazine "Come into the dusty deserted publishing house where mummified editors sit over moth-eaten manuscripts of books that were never written...anyone who enjoys the work of my late friend William Burroughs will feel welcome here with Chris Kelso." - Graham Masterton "Chris Kelso's prose swaggers like blues and jitters like bebop. Dig." - Nate Southard, author of Down and Just Like Hell. "Sparky, modern, avant-garde but accessible, Chris Kelso's book is reminiscent of the most successful literary experimentation of the 60s and 70s, the sort of work that was published in the later New Worlds, but it's also thoroughly contemporary, intimately engaged with modern life as it is right now. Kelso steams with talent and dark wit and his blend of anarchy with precision is refreshing, inspiring and utterly entertaining . . ." - Rhys Hughes, author of Mister Gum - 'This emerging journeyman of the macabre has wormed his way into my grey-matter and continues to seep noxious ichor. I feel like I must devour him. Every little bit of him.' - Adam Lowe "Chris Kelso's writing is like a punch to the gut that forces your face against the page. The way his gritty prose carries his imagination is like a bar fight between Bradbury and Bukowski, with the reader coming out on top. The worlds he drags us into are so damn ugly that you have to admire their beauty." Chris Boyle of BizarroCast
