Praise for this book
"This book is for anyone who thought they were going to hell for being themselves. Chuck Tingle takes that fear and weaves it into a seamless horror that will keep you up at night, not only because it's got monsters but because we've known those monsters. And yet it still proves love is real. Camp Damascus is a big hug to all of us who had to fight to find each other." - J R Dawson
