From Jack Chase—author of Violent Crimes and Overtime—comes a mythic crime epic for the age of American decline.
Made in America is not just a novel. It’s a five-act descent into ambition, violence, and spiritual rot—told through the eyes of Billy Castle, a nightclub caterer turned criminal confidant, caught in the orbit of a man who may not be entirely human.
Set in a Manhattan twisted by memory, grief, and power, Made in America blends Shakespearean tragedy with hard-boiled noir and a streak of unholy myth. What begins as a chance to escape poverty mutates into a test of legacy—what you inherit, what you bury, and what survives long after you're gone.
This is Jack Chase’s magnum opus. Brutal, operatic, and unapologetically American.
For Pulitzer consideration in 2026.

ABOUT JACK CHASE, FOUNDER
Jack Chase, Founder and Chief Enforcement Officer of Abbycat Group LLC, is a visionary American novelist, screenwriter, graphic designer, director, and entertainment entrepreneur quietly revolutionizing the world of independent publishing. Known for his captivating cinematic prose, flirtation with the supernatural, and morally gray characters, Chase doesn’t write genre fiction—he writes human fiction. His work rejects formulas, signposts, and the safety nets of tradition. Instead, it digs into the raw nerves of real people in impossible situations—not just to thrill you, but to haunt you.
As the nucleus of Abbycat Group LLC, Chase pens, designs, publishes, and promotes his novels independently, maintaining full creative control from first draft to final spine. His books are guided by one rule: truth above all. Character behavior isn’t engineered to serve plot; the plot erupts from behavior. Moments aren’t cleanly resolved; they’re lived-in, awkward, and unresolved. Tension builds through silence, fracture, and vulnerability, without gimmick.
From Overtime: The Ballad of Marcus Graves, Violent Crimes: The Butcher of Westchester, Immundus: A Western-Navajo Folktale, and Made in America, Chase’s work is thematically rich, emotionally layered, and cinematically grounded. His stories don’t chase trends. They chase ghosts—of trauma, ambition, conflict, and love.
Within just four months in the year of 2025, Chase has penned six distinct titles—and he’s not even close to finished. With at least four more full-length novels on the Abbycat slate to close out the year, it’s clear that Chase is driven by much more than ambition or passion. He’s driven by freedom.
