Killing My Darlings

Have you heard of the 'Dark Forest Hypothesis'? It suggests that alien civilizations exist, but they remain silent—ever fearful of malevolent civilizations lurking in the cold, dead void. Salivating for just a sign of life. This apocalyptic nightmare seems to be Earth's reality, where we find ourselves subjugated and silenced. Yet, as if that weren't cruel enough, calamitous black holes have emerged—ravenous, devouring our world. Within them dwell-once venerated gods of myth, now twisted into entities hellbent on harvesting countless souls to sustain their existence. Fate is stirring...its instrument is none other than Azario Anagnostopoulos-who MUST KILL THE GODS. Want more?

Then check out the author's notes at the end of any chapter. I can't wait to see you there! ;)
