About this item
In House of Bone and Rain, Shirley Jackson and Bram Stoker Award-winning author Juan Diego Rivas delivers a harrowing and haunting coming-of-age story set in a Puerto Rican slum, where a group of friends is driven by vengeance and surrounded by the supernatural.
Gabe, Xavier, Tavo, Paul, and Bimbo grew up knowing death intimately—hurricanes, car accidents, gang violence, and suicide have always lurked in their lives. Yet when Bimbo's mother is brutally murdered, the group finds themselves grappling with grief and a newfound darkness. Bimbo, now consumed by rage and loss, is determined to exact revenge on those responsible. His vow to kill the perpetrators propels the friends into a dangerous and uncharted territory.
Their quest for justice reveals that Maria, Bimbo's mother, was killed by henchmen of a notorious drug kingpin in Puerto Rico. This powerful figure is known for his ruthlessness, and challenging him is a perilous undertaking. As the boys prepare for a confrontation, they are haunted by more than just the threat of violence. The region's hurricanes, which are believed to carry malevolent spirits, loom over them, adding a layer of mysticism and foreboding.
Blending elements of myth, mysticism, and the brutal realities of their world, House of Bone and Rain is a dark and atmospheric narrative. It explores themes of loyalty, vengeance, and the spectral presence of the past, weaving a tale that is as menacing as it is poignant. Rivas captures the essence of a community ensnared by both earthly and supernatural forces, making for a compelling and unforgettable read. ❤️📚❤️
