Being such a big fan of Camp Demascus, I'm truly honored to be given the chance to read the arc of Chuck Tingle's newest novel! And let me tell you, I thoroughly enjoyed Bury Your Gays. The concept alone would be enough to sell me: a horror movie/television writer going toe-to-toe with the very monsters he helped to create. This novel dealt with quite a lot of important issues from the use of queer tragedy in pop culture to the dangerous machine that is capitalism. The story covered many ranges of emotion from some hilarious comedic moments, to moments that brought tears to my eyes as we explored our main character, Misha Byrne's, past. As a huge horror nerd, I really enjoyed picking up on the author's references to the genre through character names, descriptions, etc while also coming up with some very creative original ideas to explore! This novel already leaves me excited and ready to pick up whatever Chuck Tingle writes next, and I'll be sure to recommend this one to everyone I know.
