Book Review: A Journey to the Darkest Part of the Heart

Repeaters, by Erica Ferencik

Repeaters is the story of black and murderous love, a cautionary tale that, in the hands of the author Erica Ferencik, is often a terrifying and truly unforgettable story.

You won’t want to put this bold and brilliant book down. The novel cover is a frightening skull, and one guesses it is of a prehistoric fish with lethal teeth, obviously setting a tone. It serves as a warning to the reader that leaves us to the workings of souls that live and return.

You’ll be riveted by this novel that takes you to the darkest netherworlds of the human heart. Not a book to read in bed if you suffer from insomnia. Ferencik, a Boston-based novelist, ghost wrote a novel called The Mutation for Katherine Applegate's bestselling young adult series "Animorphs."

A prizewinning screenwriter, her feature comedy Mob Dot Com (co- written with comedian Rick D'Elia) was optioned by Goodman Productions. Her novella The Inheritance was a finalist in the 2004 Malahat Review Novella Competition. She's written sketch comedy and performed standup comedy for 10 years at major venues in Boston and throughout New England. In Repeaters, she has proven herself to be a master at taking you to the darkest nethworlds of reincarnation.
