Praise for Bury Your Gays
“Tingle cements his place in horror with this gory romp…[his] vivid, visceral storytelling combines with prescient insight into the corporate dynamics that rule mainstream media. The result is smart, subtle, and a bloody good time.”
— Publishers Weekly, Starred Review“Tingle burst onto the traditional publishing scene with one of the best books of 2023 (Camp Damascus), but his follow-up is even better…taking readers on a highly entertaining, fast-paced ride, filled with thought-provoking satire, original monsters, and some of the most realistic characters they will encounter on any page, all to prove that love is real and horror itself is, at its core, a celebration of life.”
— Booklist, Starred Review“Tingle’s latest outing is another refreshingly original look at horror… His hallmark inventiveness with structure, trope, and genre come through clearly here and are balanced perfectly….Captivating and creative, Tingle continues breathing new life into old tropes with a gory examination of art and the lives that fuel it.”
— Library Journal, Starred Review“Brilliantly bloody, wildly fun, and extremely scary, Bury Your Gays brings a sledgehammer down on tired tropes and makes a masterpiece of their guts. A profoundly smart and emotionally resonant novel that is sprinkled with cinema magic and a brutal Hollywood reckoning.”
— Rachel Harrison, national bestselling author of Black Sheep“RIP gay clichés! Wickedly funny and hella entertaining, this takes great pride in digging up Hollywood’s skeletons and gleefully pounding them to dust. I loved every eerie, nostalgic, blood-spattered, rainbow-flag-waving page.”
— Josh Winning, author of Burn the Negative and Heads Will Roll“This triumph of a book effortlessly and cleverly upends cliché. One of the best novels ever about LA, the film industry, and horror movies, it delivers all the fandom, fear, and feels, and then some. Only Chuck Tingle can tell a story as masterfully as this, and he once again proves that love is so real.”
— CJ Leede, author of Maeve Fly“Gory and goosebump-inducing horror.”
— HUFFPOST“Bury Your Gays is a horror of epic proportions.”
— Reactor“Bury Your Gays, along with last year’s Camp Damascus, cements Tingle’s place as one of the best new novelists around, horror or otherwise.”
— CrimeReadsPraise for Camp Damascus

“Fantastic. Camp Damascus is seriously good.”
— Jenny Lawson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Furiously Happy“A genuinely terrifying nightmare – but it ain’t the monsters you gotta be afraid of. Chuck Tingle is absolutely the best guide through this level of Hell.”
— N.K. Jemisin, New York Times bestselling author“It’s a bighearted, chilling ride that proves the author’s mantra over and over: Love is, indeed, real.”
— Vulture“This book is highly entertaining, cinematic, and filled with monsters, both human and supernatural, all of which will lure horror fans to its pages, but what holds it all together is the immense love at the heart of the novel.”
— Library Journal, Starred Review“A timely, authentically chilling story.”
— Booklist, Starred Review“Chuck Tingle continues to surprise and thrill. Camp Damascus is terrifying, darkly funny, and engagingly humane.”
— John Scalzi, New York Times bestselling author“This chilling page-turner should win Tingle a slew of new fans.”
— Publishers Weekly“Camp Damascus is as joyous as it is upsetting. It’s a Queer horror novel that neither shies away from the pain of prejudice nor downplays the victory of self-acceptance.”
— Esquire“Jaw-dropping…both frightening and utterly cathartic. A queer nightmare of demonic proportions!”
— Mark Oshiro, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anger is a GiftBook This Speaker
