Bookseller recommendation
“Neverton is home to the only gay conversion camp in the country to boast a 100% success rate: Camp Damascus. God-fearing Rose Darling knows all about the camp from the commercials starring the charismatic Pastor Pete Bend. But when Rose starts coughing up flies and getting flashes of a life she doesn't remember living -- and a girl she doesn't remember loving -- she starts to question everything that's been instilled into her by the congregation. Internet icon Chuck Tingle (best known for his ever-memeable book covers) has definitely broken out of his niche, giving us a traditionally published horror debut that is as sincere as it is searing. Rose's journey in not only overcoming her own religious trauma, but burning down the whole system that brought it about, will have you at the edge of your seat, all the way to the satisfying end.”
— Darcy • Mysterious Galaxy Books
"Wilson narrates with emotional depth, conveying all of Rose's intelligence, inquisitiveness, and fear as she's hunted by otherworldly beings." - AudioFile
“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 face 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.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.
