Replica: Your Greatest Fear Lives
Gary Harmon, a bright high-school senior, is known as “Geeky Gary,” the class nerd. Accustomed to being the butt of jokes and pranks, he finds solitary comfort in his hobby of watching old horror movies and building models of their characters, which decorate his room.
Jake Miller, the new kid at Kingston High School, befriends Gary and becomes his protector. They both, however, long for the attention of the red-headed Elizabeth Wilcox, the most beautiful girl at school. She, however, is dating Eric Mead, the star quarterback of the Kingston Knights football team.
One day, Gary discovers a camera that had belonged to his father—who is incarcerated in a mental institution for having killed the boy’s mother when Gary was an infant. The camera gradually becomes an obsession with Gary, who can’t seem to resist its unique powers as they are revealed to him—even when they become sinister.
A Halloween dance at Kingston High becomes the setting for Gary’s revenge against those who have tormented him, as well as Elizabeth Wilcox’s new boyfriend—Jake Miller.
What is the secret of the camera? Will Gary Harmon, Jr. follow in his father’s footsteps under the influence of his father’s camera? This thrilling story will keep you wondering until the last page has been turned.

I could not put this book down. It was like Carrie meets Christine in this sophomore novel by new author David Warren. I enjoyed his previous novel, Jest - It Waits No Longer, but I have to admit I liked this one more. The characters were easy to sympathize with and you felt bad for the main character and can understand why he felt the way he did.

This personally wasn't really my cup of tea. But I did enjoy the idea of the book. It seemed pretty unique to me.
