Biographisches: "CHUCK TINGLE is a mysterious force of energy behind sunglasses and a pink mask. He is also an anonymous author of romance, horror, and fantasy. Chuck was born in Home of Truth, Utah, and now splits time between Billings, Montana and Los Angeles, California. Chuck writes to prove love is real, because love is the most important tool we have when resisting the endless cosmic void. Not everything people say about Chuck is true, but the important parts are." Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: May 29, 2023 Erotica author Tingle ( Space Raptor Butt Invasion ) makes his full-length, traditionally published debut with an eerie but empowering queer horror story. Neverton, Mont., is home to the Kingdom of the Pines, a Christian sect whose claim to fame is their conversion therapy program, Camp Damascus. At the novel’s start, autistic narrator Rose Darling is a god-fearing 20-year-old high school senior (“Kingdom kids” take two years off school to study the Bible) who has fully bought into the sect’s ideology and is proud of Camp Damascus’s “100 percent success rate.” Then she vomits up bugs at family dinner and begins seeing demonic apparitions whenever she experiences desire toward women—especially her friend Martina, who winds up murdered by one of these demons. It becomes apparent that Rose’s parents and her so-called therapist are gaslighting her, a creeping sensation compounded by flashes of memory of a relationship with a woman. The first act is an exercise in slowly mounting dread,then, once the pieces of Rose’s past fall into place, she sets out on a righteous revenge mission. It’s a fresh take on the exorcism trope, made richer by biblical allusions and subtle engagement with Peter Pan . With plenty of crossover YA appeal, this chilling page-turner should win Tingle a slew of new fans. Agent: Dongwon Song, Howard Morhaim Literary. " Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:Mara Wilson expertly narrates a queer horror novel about an evangelical religious community in Montana and the gay conversion therapy camp at its heart. Rose Darling is 20, and while she never went to Camp Damascus, she knows people who have--though they don't talk about it. The novel takes a sharp turn into the surreal in the first chapter when Rose vomits up mayflies at the dinner table and her parents pass it off as a fluke. Wilson narrates with emotional depth, conveying all of Rose's intelligence, inquisitiveness, and fear as she's hunted by otherworldly beings. Rose, who is autistic and, she comes to realize, queer, fights to discover the truth about the rot at the center of all she's been taught--and fights for her future.
