Somewhere between the third and fourth dimensions — in a liminal space that smells faintly of cardamom and old starlight — there exists a coffee shop. It doesn't always look the same. The staff are, to a one, cryptids. And the guest book, it turns out, has no last page.

FrankiVerse Cafe: Infinite Patrons Volume 1 is a compendium of cosmic characters — wizards, oracles, con artists, dreamworld drifters, sentient waterfalls, and at least one interdimensional carnivore who subsists on fear energy and tips very well — drawn from the vast and ever-expanding FrankiVerse universe created by author and cosmic traveler Haleigh Overseth. Each patron arrives with a bio, a backstory, and a tale from their time at the Cafe, where the seasonal menu responds to your vibrational state, the window looks out onto something different every visit, and the staff already know your order before you've thought to give it.

Part character compendium, part anthology, part love letter to every neurodivergent, cosmos-curious, beautifully weird mind that has ever felt slightly outside the reality everyone else seems to be operating in — this book is for you. Pull up a chair. Your order is already on its way.
