Please note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not impact my rating or review. Be warned readers, this is pretty bloody/gory. A couple of scenes did turn my stomach a bit, but I kept plugging through. I won’t lie, readers are not going to like the main character, Poppy Stringer at all. At least at fast. She starts to grow on you, or at least she grew on me the more I read. And the more I read, I kept hoping that she […]

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. If I had to rank all of Chuck Tingle’s novels, the order would be for me, from best to least best*: Bury Your Gays, Lucky Day, Camp Damascus, then Fabulous Bodies. (I have not read his novella Straight as of yet.) And all of those books are 4, 4.5, or 5 stars. So he’s really just killing it. I’m only giving this one four stars because I know he can go deeper, […]

Chuck Tingle writes another book you just have to experience for yourself.

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. I’ve been having such a hard time writing this review, and that’s because I know I need to re-read it in order to actually convey my thoughts. The second half of this book, listening to it felt like a fever dream, and I probably wasn’t paying as much attention to it as I should. And unfortunately, I think the second half is when the book is really crucial […]

A different kind of Tingle

Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle

by 2 Comments

Chuck Tingle is the renouned author of such classics as: ‘Pounded in the Butt by My Own Butt’, ‘Bigfoot Pirates Haunt My Balls’, and ‘Space Raptor Butt Invasion’… I can’t even write this with a straight face. Let’s just say: Tingle seems to be quite a character! Camp Damascus is my first foray into his writings, and I have to say, I was won over. In fact, I was (at times) blown away by the beauty of his writing. He’s deft at painting a picture […]

Everyone is Doing Their Bit in Their Own Way

Bisexual Unicorn Vampires Teach Me the Importance of the Vampire Cough by Chuck Tingle

Well, I don’t think I could have picked a more tonally different read for my No Money review than my Money one. Chuck Tingle is famous for his eclectic romance shorts between people and exotic cryptic species, people and inanimate objects, and even people and abstract concepts. Recently, he has been inundated with requests for Coronavirus related erotica — which he has refused to do, on the grounds that he doesn’t want to write about things or events that are harming people. So instead, Chuck […]
