I AM THE THUNDERBOLT tells the story of a woman who, in an attempt to escape the horrors of being human, decides to become a fearsome goddess instead. Power-tripping hard, she effortlessly ascends to new levels of knowledge and bliss, believing that she's leaving her old problems behind. But when she falls in love with a fellow god of destruction, their corrosive affair quickly spirals downward, towards something far more horrifying than even omnipotence can save her from: her Self. Simultaneously hilarious and horrifying, this collection of poetry and prose by award-winning writer Alicen Grey weaves religious symbolism with fabulous language to explore the consequences of power, the paradoxical nature of truth, and the very fine line between insight and insanity.
