Steve Volk spent 15 years writing long features covering courts, crime, cops and politics before producing his first book, Fringe-ology: How I tried to explain away the unexplainable--and couldn't. This first book is his attempt to reconcile his down to earth occupation as a reporter with an old family ghost story he grew up with as a child. Volk lives in Philadelphia with his wife Lisa, where he plans to continue his career as a journalist while writing books in the high style of narrative nonfiction.
