My copy of @drchucktingle's book Camp Damascus has arrived! (The publishers were kind enough to send me an advanced copy when I mentioned that I had ordered a copy but time was not kind to me as it was Finish Good Omens and Wrap Things Up Before the Strike world, and I had no personal reading time. So I'm really looking forward to settling down to read it.)

the more you're forced to interact with social media in the way of present-day mildly to moderately successful authors the more admiration and mild jealousy you have towards @drchucktingle who is so goddamn real and genuine. i think the reason everyone thinks it's a persona or an act is because that's what everyone tells you to do as an author. it's all 'five reasons you should read this book' tiktoks not mentioning you're the author and cultivating your online persona and the worst part is all of that is genuinely good advice. we can't all be chuck tingle. it's HARD. he's always getting pushback and misrepresented. but writing as a career would be so much more joyful if it was easier to be genuine and normal instead of also having to be your own advertising squad in a social media sphere that values clickability over reality

A (5 star) review of Bury Your Gays, by @drchucktingle!
Tumblr media
I read this book in one sitting. I did not plan to read this book in one sitting, but I could not put it down, accepting that my lunch break was now an extended reading break. Bury Your Gays was just that good.
It starts simple. Screenwriter Misha has been told by his exec that the season finale of his show must out, then kill the two leads. He needs to bury his gays because the board has determined it's where the money is. Misha says no. Then starts getting stalked by his (definitely fictional, right?) characters from other shows. Either Misha developed some incredible supernatural powers in that meeting, or something more sinister is at work…
Bury Your Gays illustrates why queer people should be allowed to tell the stories they want to tell, instead of being made to use queerbating, tragic tropes, or fake relentless optimism in the name of corporate Pride. It's a story about the queer struggle to find oneself in a world that makes it so, so hard. There's a lot of love for the queer community poured into this book, and oh does it shines. I especially adored the ace rep - and the concept of ace rep as a plot point. I shall not explain further. However, I am more scared than ever of the corporatization of Pride.
Bury Your Gays also criticizes capitalism's monetization of tragedy and exploitation of workers. It explores what happens when ethics are ignored in the name of an ever-growing profit margin, to the point where the bottom line becomes a near-sentient thing. It leans into the horrors of AI and data-mining by combining the two and going all the way with it. Chuck Tingle has acknowledged all my fears of black box algorithms and also made them ten times worse. Truly a feat! I will be sleeping with my router off!
It's a masterpiece of horror, both visceral and psychological. Since the main character is a horror writer, the story is very genre aware. There's a lot of fun to be had in the tale of "writer being followed by the monsters he wrote," and certainly no small amount of terror. It gets gory here and there, with plenty of suspense in between. Hints are laid out for the reader, enough where I was occasionally able to predict what was coming just a page or two before it landed. My jaw dropped multiple times! The writing is descriptive enough to pull you right in (and gross you out!), and it's paced near-perfectly. There's all these little moments sprinkled in that elevate the whole story, from fun references of other work to subtle clues you'll only catch on a reread.
This book will be living in my head rent-free from now on. It's about so many things and yet has interwoven them all perfectly. Fans of classic horror movies will love this story. Those of us fed up with AI generated trash will love it. Anyone who joined a WGA picket line will love it. Asexuals fed up with lack of representation will love it. People who watched multiple seasons of Supernatural will love it. Is that you? Go pick up Bury Your Gays. Be scared, be sad, be angry. But also validated, loved, and joyful.
TLDR: Read this book when it comes out on July 9!

I went to wondercon! I had a ton of fun with my friends and buying too many books which I then carried around for 10 hours but I also got to meet @drchucktingle, as well as get my copy of Straight signed and I wanted to show off.
And honestly we already knew it but man he is so sweet, he jumped up to take pictures with everyone who stopped by to get a book signed. They had Camp Damascus on sale at the booth, seriously go read it if you haven’t already. Chuck tingles horror is so cathartic and lets out so much anger and pain and hope and it’s so good man.

I keep forgetting to share a photo of my writing journal cover, so here it is!
The quote is from a @drchucktingle post in reply to someone asking his opinion about fanfic. I don't know why, but the wording really spoke to me, and I wanted to keep it in some way.

My boo took me to the bookstore and I scored some sweet titles from @drchucktingle @neil-gaiman and the late Carrie Fisher! Stardust is one of my favorite books of all time and needed to read it again. I started with Camp Damascus first and am about half way through it and it is AMAZING.

I am about one third of the way into Camp Damascus and I feel so goddamned seen. As a neurodivergent Queer girl from Montana, as the survivor of an especially heinous and weird sect of Christianity, as a child whose sin and salvation was curiosity, as someone who had to survive all her frameworks crumbling under the weight of their untruths, I feel so goddamned fucking SEEN
And to know that I can trust @drchucktingle to tell this kind of story, to acknowledge all the ways my growing up was a kind of horror story, to scare and unsettle me and do it in a way that honors his Queer protagonist and all of us who were once in her shoes? You better fucking believe that this proves love.

are you friends with @drchucktingle?
Not in real life, but i have admired and followed Chuck online for almost a decade now, since the Sad Puppies Hugo silliness helped bring Chuck to popular awareness. (I started reading Camp Damascus, their first mainstream book, and was enjoying it and then the Writer's Strike ended and personal reading time went suddenly away, and it got put on the pile by the bed.)

I finished reading Camp Damascus by @drchucktingle yesterday and let me tell you, the whole vibe and tone and atmosphere of the book felt so good and so familiar. I have never before experienced a story through the eyes of an autistic protagonist, written by an autistic author; and it nearly made me cry. It means a lot to me. Thank you, Dr Tingle. <3
(Also, I am not giving any spoilers but reading the last line of the book and then returning to the beginning and reading the first sentence again feels like a punch in the stomach. It's definitely a book you want to re-read. I love it a lot.)
