This was such a fun quick read! Chuck Tingle brought some of his humor from his eroticas into this horror and I’m so glad he did. The plot was wild and I enjoyed the ride but found that some of the MC’s inner monologue became repetitive. Sometimes it felt like the book was written more for straight people because of the whole, “you say you’re an ally but will you be here when the chips are down?!” and “we have each other” vibes. The teaser for Camp Damascus seems like it will also lead to a super entertaining tale.
Graphic: Gore, Murder, and Pandemic/Epidemic
Minor: Homophobia, Transphobia, Outing, and Injury/Injury detail
