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.
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
This book will sear the flesh off your fingers...- Peter Lefcourt, Di and I
The intensely sensual descriptions of color and light, the passionate characters, the sensitive experiences of love and pain depicted in Rain moved me a great deal. Rain is really a trip... - Dr. Timothy Leary
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
