ARCPDX Book Club - "Camp Damascus” (June 2026)

Happy Pride! Join us at our June meeting to discuss “Camp Damascus” by Chuck Tingle, a highly acclaimed 2023 queer horror novel ABOUT: From beloved internet icon Chuck Tingle, Camp Damascus is a searing and earnest horror debut about the demons the queer community faces in America, the price of keeping secrets, and finding the courage to burn it all down. They’ll scare you straight to hell. Welcome to Neverton, Montana: home to a God-fearing community with a heart of gold. Nestled high up in the mountains is Camp Damascus, the self-proclaimed “most effective” gay conversion camp in the country. Here, a life free from sin awaits. But the secret behind that success is anything but holy. For more information, including content warnings, visit: https://app.thestorygraph.com/.../706b3a63-85e3-44dc-80b8...
