In the town of Sisters, sound is a crime.
Not metaphorically. Not socially. Literally.
One wrong breath can cost you your voice. One visible mistake can cost you your life. Across the forest, in Bomb Town, visibility is death. Between them stands the Line-a tower that listens, measures, and optimizes human behavior like a god refining its worshippers.
When Clay Marrow's sister is marked as a warning, he discovers the truth: the system does not punish rebellion.
It studies it.
It feeds on fear, hope, obedience-and even resistance-until entire towns become predictable.
The only way to starve a god is to make it unable to understand you.
But when the system begins to collapse, something far more terrifying emerges:
The people who want it back.
How to Starve a God is a chilling dystopian horror about surveillance, behavioral control, algorithmic religion, and the addictive comfort of obedience.
