The Blurb

​

​                                                                  ​​​​​​

Wanna know what it feels like? When it happens? First you feel a rumble…

A trucker picks up a pregnant teen on a long stretch of nowhere. A young rodeo rider stumbles into a mysterious ranch. A fugitive comes to a cursed town in search of safety. An affliction known as the RUMBLESKIN is stretching itself across the country.

No one knows how it began, but everyone has a story about it.

RUMBLESKIN is a new queer folk tale exploring transformation in a strange and dangerous land.​
