Gross, horrific and romantic! Long, long list of content warnings and the biggest one isn't even recognized by Storygraph: do not read this if you cannot handle bugs, body horror and religious abuse.

Otherwise, this Tingle title is a visceral romp from abuse to self actualization. As a queer person raised in a religious household I felt seen. It is a cathartic and horrifying feeling. 8/10 highly recommended!

Chuck Tingle is a fucking legend and this book is perfect. The Tingleverse Horror duology of it and Bury Your Gays, while I think the concept of canons to be rather silly and reductive, are in my humble opinion two of the most important Queer pieces of art of recent years and I would truly die for that sharp suited sunglasses pillow head genius!

More cohesive thoughts another time, but I need mainline Straight right now!
