THE RAIN by
Tom Brandner
will quench
your literary thirst!!!
Stephen King has new
competition in the horror genre and it is author Tom Brandner.
THE RAIN by Tom Brandner (ISBN-10: 1583850775 Publisher: Cold Tree
Press) is a fast, hair-raising, chilling and suspenseful story that
will seize you from beginning to end. Nine year old foster child,
Trent loved the rain. What he didn't know was the darkness that he
would find at his new foster home.
Set in the small town of New Bern North Carolina children are
disappearing. The community is baffled. Making things worse, a lack
of rain is causing the most severe droughts in years. Farmers are
suffering the devastating effects of the drought. This is a tale of
good vs. evil and is a new look into what is spellbinding and
frightening.
The author said in a recent interview, "What inspired me to write
the novel was that I wanted to write something different, something
new . . . no haunted houses or psycho killers on the loose. I also
wanted the story to be believable, and I feel the novel comes across
that way. Rain is usually good, but it is a lack of rain that is the
problem in the novel. The promise of rain can be enticing, going
back to the rain dances of ancient civilizations, if one can control
the rain, one can control the world. In the novel, rain is a symbol
of what is needed, what is desired, and what will cause normally
sane men to go to drastic measures to have it. In the boy's world,
however, rain can be seen as a friend."
THE RAIN has everything you want in a good story. Believable
characters and a tight plot that grabs you by your throat the first
chapter and doesn't let go until the end. If you like books by
Stephen King and Dean Koontz - I introduce you to a new
horror/supernatural author deserving to be in their league -- Tom
Brandner!
Discussing plot and character, the author says, "The plot as I
stated earlier, is the easier of the two for me, although they are
both challenging. The characters demand more attention, more detail,
and more thought. You have to literally become the character when
you write about him or her and they must be believable. You have to
put yourself in their state of mind, and sometimes that can be quite
hard if you're not in the mood. Again, the plot seems to flow along
at its own pace, and for me requires less attention."
For a debut novel, THE RAIN, is a very impressive. There is lots of
evidence from this book that this author will be a great
storyteller/novelist for a long time. Thirsty for something solid
and captivatingly scary? Get a copy of THE RAIN today!

a mere inconvenience. It
had indeed continued to
rain on their farms,
enriching their lands,
enabling their crops to
prosper. Nine-year-old

of a nightmare from
which he may never
escape... Visit the
