Reviews"Fantastic. Camp Damascus is seriously good." -- Jenny Lawson , #1 New York Times bestselling author of Furiously Happy "A genuinely terrifying nightmare - but it ain't the monsters you gotta be afraid of. Chuck Tingle is absolutely the best guide through this level of Hell." -- N.K.

Camp Damascus is terrifying, darkly funny, and engagingly humane ." -- John Scalzi , New York Times bestselling author " Camp Damascus is a queer horror novel that unpacks the cruelty of conversion camps and that particular brand of religious fervor that actively harms people who are different under the guise of godliness....It is genuinely horrifying....

This book is worth your time." -- Sarah Gailey , author of Just Like Home "This book is for anyone who thought they were going to hell for being themselves . Chuck Tingle takes that fear and weaves it into a seamless horror that will keep you up at night, not only because it's got monsters but because we've known those monsters. And yet it still proves love is real. Camp Damascus is a big hug to all of us who had to fight to find each other. " -- J.R.
