“A joyful, furious romp through dark places, Tingle proves he's as good at fear as he is at love.” ―T. Kingfisher, bestselling author of What Moves the Dead
From beloved internet icon Chuck Tingle, 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.
Loved by our collective!
The best contribution to the conversion camp cannon since "But I'm a Cheerleader!" Any skeptics of meme king Chuck Tingle's debut horror novel will have to eat their words, or perhaps regurgitate them in a cloud of flies...
Camp Damascus is not a one note experience, and Tingle expertly balances the bitter taste of ✨religious trauma✨ with the sweetness of first love, friendship in the face of the greatest odds, and the most satisfying "fuck around and find out" moment in literary history.
Content Warnings: homophobia, ableism against an autistic character, religious trauma, emotionally abusive parents, gaslighting, mild to medium body horror, death, bugs
