December 7, 2025-the day humanity learned that God had died. Conrad Monte Cristo thought he had left religion behind. A rebellious musician, cybersecurity expert, and lead vocalist of the rock band The Alter Egos, he believed in God in secret-but never again in church. That faith, quiet and private, becomes the only thing standing between him and the collapse of everything he knows. When a mysterious figure known only as The Witness orchestrates a cataclysm that tears humanity apart, Conrad watches as the world descends into chaos: cities burn, and people turn on each other in horrifying displays of violence and madness. His bandmates, his love, and even the innocent are swept into the horror. But the true terror is not physical-it is existential. Humanity itself harbors a darkness it cannot control, a cosmic consciousness that God had been containing for millennia. Now released, it begins to consume everything: society, faith, morality, and hope. As the world crumbles, Conrad must confront betrayal, grief, and unimaginable loss. He must face Isa, transformed into something no longer human, and Jax, whose family secrets tie directly to the cataclysm. He must survive The Witness, a man who sees himself as a messiah but is far more monstrous. The Day God Died is a dark, gory, and psychological thriller that explores the collapse of humanity, the fragility of faith, and the horrors that lie both within and beyond us. In a world without God, nothing is safe, and everything-love, loyalty, sanity-is tested to its breaking point.

Allow me to introduce myself: the name's Dylan Neville. I'm a decent writer, a good cook, and (if I do say so myself) the sharpest shot in the City. Nice to meet you all. Well, I found out the hard way that there's only so many bridges you can burn before you've got no more places to run. So I had to turn to my brother, currently sitting on his newly minted detective agency and looking for assistants. Ryan spent most of our childhood as an amateur sleuth. But I'd say there are significant differences between being a kid detective and doing the business as an adult. For instance; your name gets stamped above the door for the mighty convenience of anyone who wants you dead. Can't say this is how I imagined spending my twenties. But hey, I've got nowhere else to go. Might as well make the best out of it.
