Rust: Season 1, Episode 2

Rust #1.2

by Christopher Ruz

Rustwood won't let Kimberly Archer go.

She's out of hospital, but that doesn't mean she's free. The madman Fitch is offering help, but he has problems of his own - a quartet of shadowy figures are stalking him through the streets, and the law isn't on his side. Meanwhile, people are still vanishing in Rustwood, and Kimberly's drawing a lot of unwelcome attention...

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.

About the author

Christopher Ruz fell in love with dark fiction when a worn copy of Pet Semetary caught his eye at a local flea market. He bought it with his pocket money and hid it under his bed so his parents wouldn’t see. He was just eight years old and had no idea what he was getting into.

Poor kid.

He has written and published horror, epic fantasy, science fiction, and children's choose-your-own-adventure books. His debut trad-pub novel, a supernatural horror story set in the halls of the world’s weirdest hedge fund, arrives mid-2027.

His best known works are The Ragged Blade (Parvus Press, 2019) and his ongoing horror series Rust. Meanwhile, he publishes the Olesia Anderson series of pulpy spy novellas under the pseudonym D.D. Marks, and writes Adventure Coloring Books for Insight Editions.

He has sold stories to Asimov's Magazine, Andromeda Spaceways and Apollo’s Daughters, has beaten the grueling Immerse or Die challenge twice, and was a finalist in the 2017 Aurealis Awards.

When not writing, Ruz teaches art and design at Melbourne high schools.
