Rachael's Apocalypse Diary

The water is tainted. Flies gather in thick black clouds. The dead rot where they fell.

Rachael trudges through a dying summer, starving, sick, and dangerously alone, searching for connection, safety, and something to believe in.

Survival demands choices that leave scars. Mercy asked and never forgotten. Lines crossed because there is no other way. The worst part of the apocalypse is not what is gone. It is who is left.

When shelter finally comes, it is imperfect. It is loyalty, protection, and the first fragile shape of found family.

Then a new threat pulls Rachael toward the ruins of the old world. Dangerous technology does not die just because society does. Rachael's knowledge makes her useful, and it makes her a target.

Gritty, intimate, and relentless, Rachael's Apocalypse Diary follows a young woman's journey from helplessness to agency, and her fight to stay humane in a world that has forgotten how.

For readers of The Road and Station Eleven who want an apocalypse that feels real enough to taste.
