Bookroo's summary

In 1860s England, each town boasts a fearsome monster, except Stoker-on-Avon. Their monster, Rayburn, is more gloomy than terrifying. With the help of quirky Dr. Wilkie and spirited Timothy, Rayburn must embrace his inner beast to save the town from an impending danger. Can friendship and creativity turn this underdog into a hero? Dive into a world of epic battles and wild creatures in this expanded graphic novel, now with a new epilogue. Will Rayburn rise to the challenge, or will Stoker-on-Avon face ruin?

From the publisher

Can a depressed monster learn how to be a hero? Maybe with a little help. The hilarious and heartwarming graphic novel that inspired the movie RUMBLE is now expanded with a new epilogue! In a fantastical 1860s England, every quiet little township is terrorized by a ferocious monster – much to the townsfolk’s delight! Each town’s unique monster is a source of local pride, not to mention tourism. Each town, that is… except for one. Unfortunately for the people of Stoker-on-Avon, their monster isn’t quite as impressive. In fact, he’s a little down in the dumps. Can the morose Rayburn get a monstrous makeover and become a proper horror? It’s up to the eccentric Dr. Charles Wilkie and plucky street urchin Timothy to get him up to snuff, before a greater threat turns the whole town to kindling. Monsters of all ages are sure to enjoy this tale about life’s challenges, the power of friendship, and creative redemption, packed with epic battles and plenty of wild beasts! Prepare for the release of the 2021 film RUMBLE with this expanded edition of the beloved graphic novel, now featuring a new 10-page epilogue!
