Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle is currently $2.99 at Amazon, Kobo and B&N.

Quote:
A Bram Stoker Award Nominee and CALIBA Golden Poppy Award finalist
A Best Book of 2023 (Vulture) and a Best Horror Book of 2023 (Esquire, Library Journal)

Welcome to Neverton, Montana: home to a God-fearing community with a heart of gold.

Nestled high up in the mountains is Camp Damascus, the self-proclaimed “most effective” gay conversion camp in the country. Here, a life free from sin awaits. But the secret behind that success is anything but holy.

And they’ll scare you straight to hell.

Man, I have heard so much good stuff about Camp Damascus. It is a book that is right up my alley. But I just can't get past Chuck Tingle's previous output: Journey To The Center Of My Butt, My Macaroni And Cheese Is A Lesbian Also She Is My Lawyer, Pounded In The Butt By My Handsome Sentient Library Card Who Seems Otherworldly But In Reality Is Just A Natural Part Of The Priceless Resources Our Library System Provides...

I think Chuck would have been better off publishing Camp Damascus under another name. Even if it was the 'Chuck Tingle writing as XXX' type of thing.

Camp Damascus is nothing like Tingle's erotica - nothing explicit. YA feel, not very horrific, but a fun read.

Well, I find the titles hilarious. And the name 'Chuck Tingle' has me MENTALLY chuckling and tingling at the hilarity of the name.



I wonder if there's any relationship to Asimov's Fantastic Voyage. (Maybe the 'voyage' was cut short....)

Nope. It's a lost world scenario with dinousaurs, riffing on Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth.

That was a rhetorical question. I actually read the book when it was first serialized in 1966 (?) Was that Saturday Evening Post? (Too lazy to check.)

(Sorry, I meant to go to QUOTE and was actually in EDIT. Nothing in your post was changed. )

These Things Linger by Dan Franklin
$0.99 Amazon US

Quote:
When Alex Wilson’s estranged uncle unexpectedly dies, Alex realizes he would do just about anything to make peace with the man who had raised him as his own.

He’d even reach out to the dead.

But things more dangerous than ghosts haunt his uncle’s broken down trailer and the nearly abandoned one-gas-station town of Fair Hill just beyond. Things that can devour the living and the dead alike, and are all too ready to answer his call.

Some parts of our past never really leave us. There are things that don’t know how to die.

These things linger.

I picked up Children of the Dark the other day for $0.99 but didn't post it -- figured people already had it. Tons of books on my wishlist for 2.99 but I don't break until < $2 ! : )

Tell Me I'm Worthless by Alison Rumfitt is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Quote:
Three years ago, Alice spent one night in an abandoned house with her friends, Ila and Hannah. Since then, Alice’s life has spiraled. She lives a haunted existence, selling videos of herself for money, going to parties she hates, drinking herself to sleep.

Memories of that night torment Alice, but when Ila asks her to return to the House, to go past the KEEP OUT sign and over the sick earth where teenagers dare each other to venture, Alice knows she must go.

Together, Alice and Ila must face the horrors that happened there, must pull themselves apart from the inside out, put their differences aside, and try to rescue Hannah, whom the House has chosen to make its own.

Cutting, disruptive, and darkly funny, Tell Me I’m Worthless is a vital work of trans fiction that examines the devastating effects of trauma and how fascism makes us destroy ourselves and each other.

Valancourt's are up for at least another week, but not fully Horrorish necessarily

Odd Man Out -- 2.99 Amazon


Quote:
An Irish Republican Army plot goes horribly wrong when its leader, Johnny Murtah, kills an innocent man and is himself gravely wounded. As the police close in on Johnny, his compatriots must make a daring bid to rescue him. But they are not the only ones in pursuit: an impoverished artist, a saintly priest, a sleazy informer, and a beautiful young woman all have their own reasons to be desperate to find him. Meanwhile Johnny wanders the streets injured and alone, trapped in a delirious nightmare, surrounded on all sides by betrayal and faced with the realization that he may die that night with the stain of murder on his soul. As the action unfolds over eight hours of a cold Belfast night, the suspense builds towards an explosive conclusion.
The Coming of Joachim Stiller - Amazon 2.99


Quote:
Freek Groenevelt is a mild-mannered journalist who values his peace and quiet above all else. But his orderly life is suddenly upended by the intrusion of a mysterious figure calling himself Joachim Stiller, who seems in insidious ways to be controlling Freek’s life and destiny. It starts with an enigmatic letter – impossibly postmarked before Freek was even born – and as a series of bizarre and possibly supernatural phenomena ensues, Freek becomes obsessed with the question: Who is Joachim Stiller? With the help of a beautiful mathematician and a dealer in occult books, Freek tries to solve the riddle, but none of them will be prepared for the final revelation of the shocking truth!

One of the great classics of 20th-century Flemish literature and a founding text of Flemish magical realism, Hubert Lampo's internationally acclaimed The Coming of Joachim Stiller (1960) has been published in fifteen languages and is now available at last in an outstanding new English version by award-winning translator Paul Vincent.

Not for everyone, but Black Sheep by Rachel Harrison is 1.99

3.5 stars on Goodreads but was Nominee for Best Horror (2023), so who knows

1.99 sale - amazon --- not on sale on kobo

A cynical twentysomething must confront her unconventional family’s dark secrets in this fiery, irreverent horror novel from the author of Such Sharp Teeth and Cackle.

Koko by Peter Straub is $2 at Amazon (only?)

The current cover, in a word, sucks. Don't let that put you off an excellent book.

Quote:
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Story comes “an inspired thriller” (The Washington Post) about four Vietnam vets linked by a shattering secret and their global hunt to track down a brutal killer.

Koko. Only four men knew what it meant. Now they must stop it. They were Vietnam vets—a doctor, a lawyer, a working stiff, and a writer. Very different from each other, they are nonetheless linked by a shared history and a devastating secret. Now, they have been reunited and are about to embark on a quest that will take them from Washington, D.C., to the graveyards and fleshpots of the Far East to the human jungle of New York, searching for someone from the past who has risen from the darkness to kill and kill and kill.
A better cover:
