I read this shortly after Camp Damascus so kind of can't help but compare them. Bury Your Gays was MUCH stronger in the character department (I loved/hated the supporting characters and antagonists), and I also loved the plot, themes, and worldbuilding (by which I mostly mean where the monsters came from). I understand the choice to include the scenes that were written in screenplay format, but unfortunately they didn't quite work for me. I think the idea has legs, but the execution wasn't quite it. The resolution also didn't quite work for me, but otherwise I very much enjoyed the book and got a lot out of it. I would highly recommended to any queer writers/film workers/TV fans.
