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.
