God is Dead
Brian Maul
God is Dead is an existentialist horror story, a man's philosophical account of his twisted journey from an iconoclastic law student who names his dog Nietzsche, to a cold-blooded killer and vigilante examining the ultimate paradox of his own idea of justice.
"Just as I was unwilling to shield myself from the truth about death, I was equally unwilling to refrain from searching for the truth to my life. In fact there is no doubt in my mind that my decision to attend law school and my preoccupation with death were derived from a similar origin....
I had hoped to acquire knowledge of the law in order to unlock the truths that lay within me. Since one of these truths is that I have never had much tolerance for societal decay, I figured that I might make for a decent prosecutor some day. What better way to make a living than to dig up the truth and bury the guilty?
Since our belief in God is not strong enough to entrust Him with this responsibility, we have reserved the right to punish and reward ourselves as we see fit. The law dictates who can do what, when, where how and even why (without fear of retaliation by the State). Is there anything that is as terrifying and comforting at the same time as the law? Well, besides death..."
