Gods Fare No Better

By J. David Osborne

A brutal cyberpunk novel infused with high-octane action, body horror, and razor-sharp humor. If you're looking for a cyberpunk novel that breaks the mold, Gods Fare No Better delivers a hallucinatory descent into a world where belief, identity, and reality are always up for grabs. Cyclone City is unraveling. A megacity built on ambition, now rotting from the inside--infested with warring cartels, techno-mystics, and assassins stitched together from spare parts. Kentaro woke up without a past. No memories, no identity--just the faint hum of something monstrous buried inside him. The monks of the Dying World Clerics gave him shelter, a simple life of sweeping floors and prayer. But hunger and ambition claw their way back into his soul, dragging him out of exile--straight into a city that wants him dead. Now, he's hacking through cybernetic samurai, battling demonic creatures, and carving his way through assassins built from living myths. His katana whispers forgotten memories, his body pulses with a parasite made of stories, and the city's fungal heart beats beneath the streets, watching, waiting. As assassins and apostles clash, Kentaro finds himself tangled in a conspiracy that calls him deeper into the labyrinth of Cyclone City. And at its core, something monstrous stirs. This isn't just another dystopian sci-fi novel. It's a savage, surreal fusion of body horror, techno-mysticism, and black comedy. It is Akira, The Invisibles, and Cyberpunk 2077 filtered through the chaos of Takashi Miike, If you enjoy: Cyberpunk with teeth Sci-fi that gets weird fast Techno-mystical storytelling Brutal action + strange heart ...this book is for you. Welcome to Neon Hell.
