Chasing the Dragon is Mark Towse’s debut novel, and ladies and gents it is coming in hot!!

If you enjoy dark, gritty genre blending reads, lots of humor, and superheroes then I highly recommend you pick this one up! Fresh out of prison, Simon intends to keep the vow he made to his deceased mother, by ending the chaos and bringing hope back to the streets.

“All I have is now and tomorrow, and my mission still stands.”

Reformo is a crazy, hilarious and lovable superhero who just wants to right his wrongs by making the world around him better. In the throes of grief he is adamant to fulfill his vow to his deceased mother by reclaiming order in the world. Donning his superhero costume (a leotard and cape) he takes to the streets and begins, one dog shit at a time. 😂

With classic Towse humor, Chasing the Dragon will have you laughing uncontrollably and cheering on reformo in this dark horror fantasy adventure. It packs all the punches and was an absolute treat to read. Congrats Mark, you’ve truly written a masterpiece!
