Solaris clinches Alex Grecian's 'rip-roaring' horror

Solaris has clinched Red Rabbit, a "rip-roaring" horror from Alex Grecian. 

Editor Chiara Mestieri acquired UK and British Commonwealth rights, excluding Canada, from Caspian Dennis at Abner Stein, in association with The Gernert Company, for publication in September 2024. 

Pitched for fans of Stephen Graham Jones and "The Magnificent Seven", Red Rabbit follows an unlikely group travelling through "drought-stricken plains in a stolen stagecoach in pursuit of a witch named Sadie Grace". The synopsis continues: "As their posse grows, so too does the danger, but this hodgepodge crew are determined to get the bounty on Sadie’s head—or die trying." 

Grecian commented: "I’m both proud and incredibly delighted to join Solaris in bringing Red Rabbit to a new readership.”

Mestieri added: "I am so thrilled to be bringing Red Rabbit to the UK! Alex blends the horror and Western genres so cleverly, and I couldn’t tear myself away from the cracking pace and epic scope of its narrative, its quick-witted characters, and the delightfully folky horrors they encounter along the journey. I can’t wait for new readers to saddle up for the ride.”
