Description
The Walking Dead meets Yellowjackets in If We Survive This, a tense and emotional young adult horror novel from award-winning author Racquel Marie about a teen girl leading a group of survivors on a perilous journey during the apocalypse.
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.
Advance Praise
"This twisty, painful zombie apocalypse book is truly, at its heart, a love letter: to family. To queer kids. To teens living with mental illness. To facing down a horrible world and surviving it, no matter what. A story that will be reaching readers at exactly the right time." ―Andrew Joseph White, New York Times-bestselling and award-winning author of Compound Fracture
"A bleak, visceral tale that is also intimately personal . . . this book epitomizes the best of what the [zombie] sub-genre has to offer." ―Booklist
“Unflinching, gory, and tender. Racquel’s Marie propulsive first foray into horror takes a post-apocalyptic humanity and reassembles it into a beautiful, but haunting macabre portrait of something worth fighting for, all through the lens of one brave but terrified girl. This book finds its sticking place early and won’t let off for a long time yet.” ―Joelle Wellington, author of Their Vicious Games & The Blonde Dies First
"Gory, grisly, and profoundly beautiful. If We Survive This carves the apocalypse wide open to bare its human innards, inspecting love and grief as inseparable forces. Racquel Marie’s entry into horror is a paragon of the genre." ―Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights
“A fierce and bloody feat of survival wrapping a tender―sometimes achingly so―heart. Racquel Marie stuns with her horror debut, where high stakes are matched by the most brutal emotions, and yet still, speaks to how the affection and love we have other people becomes a pillar of our own survival. Plus, zombies and queer girls―how could you want for more?” ―Zoe Hana Mikuta, author of Off With Their Heads
