Releasing July 14, 2026
This is not a dusty retelling.
The Olympians still exist in the 21st century, but they are not what they were in the epic poems. Belief has eroded, systems have calcified, and the divine have adjusted to market conditions.
At the center of this story is a question:
When gods begin to lose control, who decides what replaces them?
The first seventeen chapters are available for free through Mythic Matters. The complete novel releases July 14, 2026.
A mythology for the modern age
Power, class, identity, belonging—and the myths people build around themselves. The Art of Killing Gods takes the Olympian pantheon and drops it into 21st-century systems. I mean why let the divine drama end when we can just move it downtown?
