I haven’t read it yet, but I believe this is the setting of *Godkiller* by Hannah Kaner.
There’s also *David Mogo, Godhunter* by Suyi Davies Okungbowa.

I don’t know if this is exactly what you’re looking for, but there’s a comic called *We Only Find Them When They’re Dead,* which is about people harvesting the corpses of dead alien gods for fuel.

A novel by Harry turtledove called Between the rivers. In this world each city has a god. Some of these gods are very controlling and its people are basically puppets. Others the gods are a little more laid back and rule through high priests but are still mostly controlling. But one city has a very lazy god and its people are basically free to do whatever they want. This causes problems amongst the other gods and the city is forced to defend itself from armies bent on wiping it off the map

*The Library at Mount Char* by Scott Hawkins. I don’t know how grim or violent you want, but it gets pretty brutal in parts. Also, *Against All Gods* by Miles Cameron, which is also violent but more in a swashbuckling way than the other one.
