Rust: Season 1, Episode 3

Rust #1.3

by Christopher Ruz

Kimberly Archer has tried to escape Rustwood twice, and twice she's been turned back. But this time, she has a foolproof plan. Forget subtlety - she's headed straight over the mountains. By the time Goodwell and her fake husband know she's gone, she'll be halfway to New York.

But there's a hitch. Bo Tuscon, the sick nurse from St Jeremiah's Hospital, is on her tail. And Fitch can't come to her rescue either. He's been pursued across town by creatures wearing bug-eye sunglasses, creatures intent on dragging him back to their master, the beast in the cracks...

Rust is a serial small-town horror story in the style of Cronenberg, Lynch and King. The first five episodes are now now available in a discount collection entitled SEASON ONE.
