The town of Oakville is the backdrop for Hamilton resident Andrew Geczy's first novel A Suburban Fantasy. The 25-year-old, who was born in Author sets vampire novel A Suburban Fantasy in Oakville Mississauga, but raised in Oakville, chose the small-town setting to pay tribute to where he grew up. "I thought it would be cool to focus my novel on not just a place I knew well, but also, it's a sleepy suburb that makes for a unique setting," he said. "It's also near Toronto, so I can have characters easily transit to an urban setting." A Suburban Fantasy tells the story of shy teenager Rachel Lin Smith who turns into a monster against her will because of a serial killer vampire. She lives in the Glen Abbey area and goes to Abbey Park High School. The book also makes reference to familiar settings like Bronte Harbour. The novel is available on Amazon.ca or through Google eBooks. 23 | Friday, February 21, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Your Golf Season Starts Here!
