Camp Carnage
Camp Carnage | Elliot Arthur Cross
7 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
In the summer of 1986, Billy Collins is sent to his own personal Hell - summer camp. The remote Camp Genesis offers desperate parents a place to "straighten" out their gay teenagers with the help of the puritanical Katherine Creevey. Besides the typical horsing around, campfire tales and summer games, the Genesis program forces gay and questioning teens into humiliating gender-based lessons. While Billy wants nothing more than to escape Camp Genesis, he can't help worrying that something even more sinister is hiding just out of sight. Unknown to Billy, two campers were murdered three years ago. Just days after Billy and the new campers arrive, people start to go missing, and it's up to Billy and his new friend Jem to find out what's really going on. Is a maniac on the loose? Is history repeating itself? One thing's for sure - at Camp Genesis, you have to fight to survive...

#ScarathlonDailyPrompts #Killer #Scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash This one has been on my TBR for a while. Ever since I heard about it from @Reggie a couple years back. I‘m hoping I get to it this month. In fact when I heard about the They/Them (They Slash Them) movie that came out recently, I thought it was based on this book because it‘s a similar premise (killer at an evangelical conversion camp). +6pts

Reggie Ohhhh, I hope you read this. I loved it. And last time I checked it was still free on Amazon. 2y
Ruthiella Another successful #Reggimendation ! 👍 2y
rwmg @reggie @ruthiella I read it last year - also originally from Reggie's review, I think. Great fun. 2y
Reggie @Ruthiella @rwmg 🖤🖤🖤 2y

YA horror story set in a mid-1980s summer camp for gay teens whose parents want to convert them to heterosexuality.

Although the premise sounds grim, this was actually quite light-hearted and fun in a “Scary Movie“ kind of way, though it might not have been the BEST choice to get me through a 1 a.m. bout of insomnia.

Reggie I loved this book! 3y
rwmg @Reggie I think I got it on your recommendation (and it didn't hurt that it was a freebie) 3y
Reggie That‘s great if you did, but yeah, when I got this for free I was shocked because it‘s just as good as some of the mainstream stuff out there. 3y

Reggie @JoScho if you‘ve watched Sleepaway Camp Massacre or Friday the 13th you‘ve seen this book. But the book has way more sass! 5y

Own voices, queer, slasher horror. Think Friday the 13th at a gay conversion camp. Kids dropped off at Camp Genesis for their summer of conversion do not know the horror that awaits them. These authors did a great job characterizing a bunch of sassy and snarky teenagers. There are some really funny moments while providing some great commentary on homosexuality. And then came the horror which hurt cause I cared about these kids. 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪 Pick!

vivastory Excellent review! Definitely gonna check it out 👍 5y

This book was so hilarious until we got to the carnage. It‘s free on Amazon right now as an e-book and I encourage anyone who feels like they need a great queer slasher distraction to go read it. I‘m usually apprehensive about indie horror until I read books like this one. And for more on this quote, please follow the link. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eGx7tiNofVc
