A town on its knees, dread's bony fingers wrapping around its throat and squeezing, death rattles soon to follow.
Drugs, filth, and a lack of human decency are starving it of hope.
Introducing Simon Dooley, our trauma-driven wannabe superhero, the relentless voice of his dead mother pleading with him to "end the chaos." Dressed in a leotard and armed only with a dozen dog poop bags, Simon's plight will find him falling in love and going head to head with the seediest characters walking the streets.
The town needed a hero... it got Reformo.
Reviews
'We've got ourselves a new superhero friends. A story about one Big man, his too-tight leotard, and the haunting voice in his head screaming at him to clean up the streets.
Chasing the Dragon is hands down, the most fun I've ever had with an ARC.
Mark Towse has given us a new humanitarian hero narrative; a perfect mix of satire and sincerity. It's a kick-ass blend of Sin City's dark atmosphere and the unconventional heroism of Unbreakable. Beneath the comedic surface, the novel tackles some serious themes like domestic abuse and poverty and while it clearly pokes fun at certain elements, it never loses sight of the weightier subjects it addresses.
"Chasing The Dragon is a hybrid of all genres, a fever-dream mash-up of horror, fantasy, comedy, crime, thriller, mystery, and even a bit of bloody romance."
