ARC READERS for Speculative Horror & giving birth to your own clone.

[Natalia]

Greetings to the speculative fiction and horror lovers in the house - I am looking for ARC reviewers for my second novel, I Repeat Myself. Let me know if you are interested in receiving a free copy in exchange for an honest review by sending me a **DIRECT MESSAGE**

Here is the blurb:

When the human race inexplicably begins to asexually reproduce, giving birth to their own clones, Ambrose Flint will have to learn what it means to raise himself. But Ambrose has a secret. A dark, wriggling secret that has infested his family tree, rotting the wood from the inside out.
The generations of Ambrose's asexually reproduced progeny that follow will need to determine where Ambrose ends, and they begin. They will need to learn how to grow, raise themselves, and forgive. But most of all, they will need to discover the wriggling rot at its core, diving deep into the VR world that holds the answers to their past, locked away in the graveyard of Ambrose’s subconscious.
It will take four generations before the men who are not Ambrose—no matter what their mirrors tell them—learn to heal their intergenerational trauma and end the cycle of abuse.
This is a story of redemption and will lead its readers from the darkest places into an unexpected light.
I Repeat Myself is a deeply psychological look at the metamorphosis of lineage, of nurture over nature, and of one man who must face his inner demons life after life before rising like a phoenix from his own hell-flame.

About the author:

Natalia Shafa is a Persian-American-Australian speculative fiction author and solarpunk game developer.

Her first novel, Descendants of Power was published in 2021 and became an Amazon Bestseller. Her second novel, I Repeat Myself, will be released late 2025. Her third novel, Samsara Inc., is coming soon.

She is the co-founder of the solarpunk game, Regen Earth, a multiplayer environmental mobile game driven by real ecological action, which was funded by VicScreen.

Her work often reflects themes of human (and not so human) growth, exploring the process by which the ugliest manifestations of society become the compost to grow our most beautiful fruits.

In her spare time she boulders, swims in the beautiful Australian ocean, and has long and deeply complex philosophical conversations with her greyhound – all through unblinking eye-contact, naturally.
