A graphic in front of a bookcase background reads "Favorite book", next to a picture of the cover of "Camp Damascus" by Chuck Tingle. The Cover of the book is a mix of reds and blacks, featuring a mouth open to the sky in a way that's shaped like the mountains behind it, spitting out mayflies in a spurt of black smoke. Lower on the page is a set of cabins, most of which are dark but one of which has an eerie blue light glowing from within. A quote on the side of this cover, added by dancer, reads “Our relationship wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, but it was real. It was misunderstandings and growth and forgiveness and acceptance and, of course, the beauty that comes along with all that. We were so much more than a montage of upbeat music and endless smiles.” ― Chuck Tingle, Camp Damascus. A list of themes is added by Dancer below the cover, reading: LGBTQ main character; horror young adult; grapples with heavy themes; elements of found family; discussion: Christianity's good and bad sides.

Camp Damascus, by Chuck Tingle, was an intriguing and compelling read that I didn't expect to like as much as I did, but the more I read it the more I could feel myself getting swept away in the story. 2/3 #chucktinglebooks #horrorbooks #reading
