About this ebook
What if the people you trust... were never real to begin with?
Sabrina thought she had landed her dream job-recruiting personal assistants for the elite residents of Valle Escondido, a luxury village where everything gleamed with perfection. But when her friends begin to vanish and neighbors start behaving strangely, she starts noticing familiar strangers everywhere-people who look right but feel wrong.
Behind the smiles are scripts. Behind the beauty, a ritual.
And behind the gates of Valle Escondido-nothing is what it seems.
From "transition parties" to flawless couples and whispered promises of "becoming better," Sabrina uncovers a chilling truth:
Perfection here isn't natural. It's manufactured. Replicated. And worshipped.
A slow-burn psychological thriller laced with modern horror, A Replica Called Everyone asks:
In a place where no one is real...
What will it cost to stay human?
About the author
Abby Arce writes psychological horror with a quiet intensity that creeps under your skin and lingers long after the last page. Fascinated by identity, illusion, and the unseen rules we live by, she crafts stories where the terrifying hides behind beautiful smiles and manicured fences.
Based in the Philippines, Abby blends modern anxieties with cultural undercurrents, often drawing from folklore, urban isolation, and the haunting fear of being watched-or worse, replaced.
A Replica Called Everyone is her latest descent into the uncanny: a world of curated perfection, familiar strangers, and a question that won't let you go-what if everything around you was built to erase who you are?
When she's not writing, she's people-watching, myth-hunting, or thinking about the one rule you're never supposed to break... but just might.
