Chuck Tingle's debut, Camp Damascus, is a searing and earnest horror debut about the demons the queer community faces in America, the price of keeping secrets, and finding the courage to burn it all down.

Welcome to Neverton, Montana: home to a God-fearing community with a heart of gold.

Nestled high up in the mountains is Camp Damascus, the self-proclaimed "most effective" gay conversion camp in the country. Here, a life free from sin awaits. But the secret behind that success is anything but holy.

And they'll scare you straight to hell.

Scary!

I don't think I liked this as much as everyone else did, having had no prior reading experience of Chuck Tingle's work, I had no idea what to expect (and knowing horror is a bit of a different genre for him). I will say the resolution felt a little confusing to me and I wanted to know why the creatures were dressed like Target employees but we never do??
