Second paragraph of third chapter:

“Yes, I know . . .  well, it’s not an exact science . . .” the familiar voice explains, anxious but assured. “There’s variation in every breed . . .  yes, I know. Understood.”

I am familiar with Chuck Tingle’s short fiction, but this novel is a step in a different direction; Rose, our protagonist, lives in a Christian cult somewhere around Montana, but is neurodiverse and gay, and also infested with satanic flies. Camp Damascus, run by her church, is a gay conversion camp which is secretly being run for the benefit of demons.

The book’s heart is in the right place, but the execution isn’t quite there. Gay conversion camps are of course evil, but in the real world they are not actually demonic, and I would rather have the religious zealots exposed for their vicious lack of compassion and failure of empathy than just make fun of them for worshipping the wrong supernatural being. And Rose’s emotional journey zigzags a bit, with the One Who Got Away emerging rather late in the plot. Work in progress, I feel. You can get Camp Damascus here.
