MYCOLLINGWOOD.CA: Collingwood Writer Pens Thrilling Debut to Rave Reviews
Benjamin Rempel Book Launch at Press Market, Collingwood
Long before the terms ‘novel virus’ and ‘pandemic’ were part of everyday jargon, Collingwood writer, Benjamin Rempel, sat at his laptop and wrote a story about a virus outbreak. The result was INFECT – a gritty 90’s-era thriller where nothing is sacred and survival is the highest priority.
“The novel was written long before COVID-19,” Rempel recently told MyCollingwood.ca. “So, while I can appreciate the similarities, the book is far different than anything we just lived through. I would have avoided the topic altogether had I known back then what was on the horizon,” he joked.
FERAL WINTER BOOK ONE
Nearing the end of a harsh winter, estranged half-brothers, Andrew and Xavier, flee into the dark woods isolating their town. Panicked, the young men seek refuge from a growing horde of feral townsfolk tracking them with unbridled violence.
Threatened by dwindling food supplies, rising tensions, and a troubled group of survivors, the brothers are thrust into bloody conflicts while desperately searching for their parents.
As their community unravels, Andrew and Xavier must uncover the terrifying truth about a virus ravaging their town if they are to survive one more night from the things that hunt them.
Hailed as “violent, mysterious, and powerfully empathetic,” INFECT explores human behaviour where nothing is sacred and survival is the highest priority.
