I liked Chuck Tingle’s book Camp Damacus, but I loved Lucky Day (I still haven’t read Bury Your Gays). I found Lucky Day to be much more assured and solidly constructed than his first book, and its X-Files/Welcome to Nightvale sensibility and musings on existential vs nihilistic philosophies really hit the spot for me. I even liked the fact that what seems like a potential romance turns out to be something else. Vera is a … Continue reading Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle →

Welcome back to Cover Awe! Cover design by Meg Sayre Amanda: So many great details like the blood on the collar and the phantom hand. Sarah: I love how the illustration looks sort of like a daguerreotype. I’m sure there are whole rooms on Pinterest that use this color palette. Sneezy: I love that the visuals of the briars bursting out of the painting feels like it’s sort of playing with the title. Cover design … Continue reading Cover Awe: Creepy and Trippy →

RECOMMENDED – Sarah bursts in and says, “OH HOT DIGGITY: Long Live Evil is $2.99!” This book came out on 27 August and was a bestseller in the UK and in the US. It was recommended by both Bree Bridges and me in the Rrrrromantasy panel I moderated this weekend for Northern Hearts, AND by Courtney Milan in this week’s podcast episode.
I read this over the summer, and got a sunburn because I forgot where I was (outside, in a pool) and how long I’d been reading (awhile) and, well, I was so engrossed forgot that I’m White and I need sunscreen every 90 minutes to 2 hours. OOPS. It’s absorbing and powerful and adventurous and so emotional.
TW/CW include: cancer, medical trauma, and also, because villainy, violence, gore, and some murdering.

Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle is $2.99! This is Chuck’s first full-length novel. Carrie gave this a C+:
Even though I didn’t enjoy this book completely, I think the author (who I admit to shamelessly adoring in general) has a lot of potential in terms of this kind of full-length work. It has a big heart and a lot of arresting scenes (I won’t forget that fly vomit any time soon). It will work best for horror fans who don’t mind body horror, flies, worms, and surrealism. I will be reading the next full-length Chuck Tingle book for sure.

Camp Damascus is a full-length novel by Chuck Tingle. Chuck Tingle is famous for writing many, many erotic and humorous short stories and novellas, and he is beloved for including rather pointed social commentary in these stories and for a social media presence in which he celebrates all kinds of love. For an idea of his short work, check out my review of Oppressed in the Butt by my Inclusive Holiday Coffee Cups or listen … Continue reading Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle →
