Rain

By Guillermo Bosch

In a world ravaged by an endless drought, Sandro, a young man from the verdant plains, arrives in Central City carrying an ancient prophecy: he is The Chosen One who will bring the rains. But prophecy demands a terrible price.
Bosch's Rain is a transgressive adult fantasy that chronicles Sandro's brutal descent through torture, imprisonment, violation, and plague. Stripped of everything, his body mutilated, his spirit broken by prison violence, his future destroyed, Sandro discovers that being chosen means being utterly unmade.
Sandro's journey takes him from green plains to desert wastes, from torture chambers to mountain peaks, from degradation to a hard-won wisdom. Along the way, he encounters fortune-tellers, shadowless outcasts and brutal guards, doctors and witches, each playing their role in a prophecy that demands everything.
In the end, Sandro learns that being chosen was never about power. It was about endurance, witness, and the courage to tell the truth.
For readers who appreciate: Angela Carter, Clive Barker, Michael Moorcock, and mythic fiction unafraid of darkness.
Rain is an important book..." - Robert Sam Anson, Best Intentions

"It was Bosch's poetic language which first attracted me to Rain, but his unprejudiced mixing of ethnicity, different sexual persuasions, gender and diverse personalities is unique and most refreshing..." - Meri Nan-Ama Danquah
"Only Guillermo Bosch could blend the political and erotic with such ease..." - David Freeman, A Hollywood Education

Customer Reviews

an extraordinarily erotic tale

This one is worth the couple bucks. Desire and desperation in a post-apocalyptic setting. Wish this author would sit down and write about ten others.
