The God Killers
by
David Simpson (Goodreads Author)
The God Killers is an extraordinarily thought provoking take on the religious/paranormal genre. It is an existentialist horror novel with a healthy dose of dark comedy. The human protagonists have experienced near death experiences (N.D.E.’s) and have discovered the truth to their existences: the white light is a trap. God will consume the energy of your soul if you attemp...more

OK... Here's the thing. I was asked to review this book, and I agreed, thinking that it was an interesting premise. And it DOES have an interesting premise, one that I was very curious about, but anything interesting about it was buried under the writing.
This book is in desperate need of an editor. I think that with a good editor, this book could be quite good, but as it is, it was just... not. I tried, but I just could not finish this book. I could barely make it the 30% I read. And that was a...more

I was looking through the list of giveaway books at Goodreads when this one caught my eye. I read the description and thought it might be good. I was wrong. It's not good. It's Fantastic. I've never read a book like it. A very original idea which the author David Simpson handled excellently. Satan, God, Angels, ghosts, fighting, guns. Enough action throughout to keep you glued to the book to the very end. Oh! Did I forget to mention the thermonuclear bomb. This is a book I will gladly pick up oc...more
The story of a rag tag band of resistance fighters who know the truth about God and the afterlife. That the former is a soul-consuming dick and the latter isn't all it's cracked up to be. We follow along as they attempt to Kill God.
Yep. That's the story. Seemed interesting at first glance.
The good? It was a short read. Really short. I finished it in a few hours.
The bad? Everything else, everything else, is stupid.
Seriously, everything else about this book is just bad. The writing, the dialogue,...more

God is actually an evil entity trying to consume as many souls as possible. After a near death experience a couple of friends discover this and set out to "kill God". They pick up a couple other people along the way to help them out, while God sends his evil henchman and goules down to Earth to stop them.
An interesting concept, but falters in execution. Some scenes live up to it's potential. I like the over the top characterizations of the demon tracking the main characters.
Unfortunately none of...more

I absolutely hate giving a bad review. Advice - a proofreader and some editing assistance.
Very interesting concept - God and the angels as beings from an alternate reality who devour the souls of the dead. I really expected this to be a fascinating read. Unfortunately it completely fell apart in it's execution. Loaded with typographical errors and misuse of vocabulary. Inconsistent, sections almost feel like they were written by seperate authors. In some areas the author needs to do research, bu...more

I won this as part of the goodreads giveaways. Reading the back of the book, I probably should have known I wouldn't like it. I am a Christian and had a tough time reading all the blasphemy against God. However, I still read the book and tried to be objective in my rating and review, I still didn't like it. Other than the fact that God was the bad guy, I believe that the story could of had some promise as a great book. It did need some major editing help. The story was choppy and didn't flow. Hi...more
This book was a bit different than i had expected it to be. i don't want to write a spoiler but it has me thinking about many different things you learn about as you grow with religion and god. This is not a religious book it is syfy and very interesting. I recommend it gives a new twist to life and death.
IN AMAZON THIS BOOK IS TITLES EXITLESS!

Wow. A super premise poorly executed. I really like David Simpson's writing, but this book felt like it was written in high school. Apparently little editing (whole for hole, etc.). Sneaking onto an aircraft carrier and stealing a thermonuclear device...seriously? There is little to no character development as the characters are constantly fighting ghosts. I see this is being developed into a graphic novel. A graphic novel may be better media than this novel, and I hope Mr. Simpson takes God Kil...more
Interesting concept. The characters were good. I felt the plot was a bit over the top at times, there was LOTS of swearing (which doesn't bother me, but it might other readers) and the end was a little anticlimactic. Overall a decent read.
Nice distraction and a novel concept especially for free ! :-)
A very easy to read book, whilst it didn't leap out at me for the prose I found myself having read half the book in one sitting!
The story is thought provoking and a new (to me anyway) take on the whole religious/paranormal aspects of life and death. Just enough was given of the characters to hold my interest but not so much that it distracted from the story and its action.
Not one I would have normally picked up but thank you for sending me a copy, I really enjoyed it.
