Rising from the ashes of the ChiZine Publications scandal, the Shirley Jackson Award-nominated and International Thriller Writers Award-nominated Chasing the Dragon is now available once again courtesy of Crossroad Press!

“A tight, focused narrative…Chasing the Dragon is unlike any other novel I’ve read, and easily one of my favorite reads [of the year]. It is definitely worth checking out if you like fantasy, horror, stories about the darker side of things (cuz heroin addiction is pretty dark) and deep, unique character work.” — Black Gate

“Chasing the Dragon moves like a bullet. As blood-soaked and thunderous as a Sergio Leone western, and grimly referential to classic pulp horror, Kaufmann turns the screws and steadily escalates the tension. A gory, thoroughly rollicking thriller–not to be missed.” — Laird Barron, author of Blood Standard and Black Mountain

Chasing the Dragon is currently available as an e-book. A new paperback edition is coming soon, but you can buy the e-book right now from:

Kindle

Nook

Google Play

Smashwords

Crossroad Press is also the publisher of my novel In the Shadow of the Axe and my collection Still Life: Nine Stories, and I’m thrilled to be working with them again to bring Chasing the Dragon back to life!

This Friday, February 21st, is my birthday, but you get something special that day, too. Rising from the ashes on 2/21/2020…

E-book first, paperback down the road. Purchasing links will be posted as soon as it’s available.

On this St. George’s Day, I would like to remind you that I wrote a book about St. George’s last living descendant, her heroin habit, and the Dragon. And as luck would have it, the paperback is currently on sale at Amazon for cheaper than the e-book!
