ALT If We Survive This by Racquel Marie
ALT You Don’t Have A Shot by Racquel Marie
ALT Author of AND THE SKY BLED S. Hati's MORBID CURIOSITIES, where an ambitious teen enrolls at an elite science institute to secure her dream career, only to find ominous notes around campus warning her to run, strange mutations in the forest, and a mysterious girl who begs for help, claiming to be the tortured subject of the institute's closed-door experiments, to Rachel Diebel at Feiwel and Friends, in a good deal, at auction, in a two-book deal, for publication in winter 2026, by Allegra Martschenko at Ladderbird Literary Agency (world). Film/TV: allegramartschenko@ladderbird.com
ALT cover of If We Survive This by Racquel Marie. Vintage comic book style illustration of a girl standing in a field of orange flowers. She and the flowers are both sprinkled with blood. The girl is gripping a knife and looking over her shoulder, scared. By her feet, which are in pink doc martens, lays a hand presumably attached to a dead body and another hand gripping her ankle, which she hasn’t noticed yet. The title is in slanted white text and spattered with blood behind her head, over a blue sky with pink clouds.
ALT Flora Braddock Paz is not the girl who survives. A colorful creative who spends as much time fearing death as she does trying to hide that fear from her loved ones, she's always considered herself weak. But half a year into the global outbreak of a rabies mutation that transforms people into violent, zombielike "rabids," she and her older brother Cain are still alive. With their mom dead, their dad missing, and their LA suburb left desolate, they form a new plan to venture out to the secluded Northern California cabin they vacationed in growing up-their best chance at a safe haven and maybe even seeing their dad again. The dangers of the world have changed, but so has Flora. Still, their journey up the state is complicated by encounters with familiar faces, new allies, hidden truths, and painful memories of the family's final time making this trip last year. And for Flora, one thing inevitably remains: No matter how far you run, death is never far behind.
