Rose, an autistic 20-year-old begins having visceral reactions and confusing memory blocks, much to her parents’ weariness and unease. She sees commercials for Camp Damascus, a gay conversion therapy camp which has a 100% success rate and no “reversions”.
I liked the overall messaging of curiosity as a necessary and “good” thing for anyone. I also enjoyed that Rose began creating her own verses rather than subscribing to a religion that essentially gaslighted the fuck out of her ❤️🩹 This ultimately wasn’t my favorite work by Chuck Tingle, but I’m still excited to continue reading more from him!
