Camp Damascus is a new adult horror about a Gay Conversion Camp, real life demons, and heavy on religious horrors. Anyone that goes to Camp doesn't remember it, and whenever they start having "unpure" thoughts, a physical demon will manifest (and potentially do some real damage to you too).
This book is gruesome, with a unique mystery element I enjoyed watching unfold. I did feel like the story dragged in some places, and I felt the religiousness was a bit too over the top, but the atmosphere is so well written. The author is open on his views of religion, and how people easily use religious topics to justify their own means.
Plus, you know, there's the element of literal DEMONS being pulled out of another universe and tethered to human beings. That was the most interesting part of this one!
