Chasing the Dragon

Posted on April 26, 2010

This past week, I read an amazing novella by Nicholas Kaufman. You should do the same! Chasing the Dragon is a work of modern day fantasy and horror with enough action, whimsy, and darkness to fill a three voume epic.

Chasing the Dragon stars Georgia, a descendant of St. George. What most people don’t know is that St. George failed to slay the dragon all those years ago, and now Georgia is the latest in a long line of slayers who must destroy the dragon before it destroys the world.

Georgia has some issues, though. Among them is a powerful heroin addiction. She’s as damaged as she is tough, and she’s one of the most fully realized heroines I’ve seen in a long time.

Kaufmann writes some amazing action. The scenes of Georgia battling the dragon’s minions are some of the best sequences I’ve read in years. You really owe it to yourself to check out this one. Chock full of shotguns, zombies, history, action, and emoion, Chasing the Dragon is one of the best books I’ve read this year. Go pick it up. You won’t be sorry.
