Welcome to Neverton, Montana, a perfectly pleasant God-fearing town with an incredibly faithful population, a strict religious high school, and Camp Damascus - the most effective Gay Conversion Camp in America…

Rose is as devout as they come, working Bible verses into every conversation, keeping herself free from sin, and honoring The Four Tenets: 
Respect - I will honor when I do not understand, 
Integrity - I will believe when I do not witness, 
Service - I will strive when my sin is heavy, 
Excellence - I will persevere when my body does not. 

When, while hanging out with her new, pretty friend Martina, Rose sees a strange woman with dark stringy hair, white eyes, long fingers, a smile too large for her face, and a red polo shirt, she is understandably shaken. Then she throws up a bunch of living mayflies, and she starts to panic. But hey, at least she’s not gay, right? Right??  

This book is scary and captivating, at times deeply sweet and uplifting and other times dark and chilling. The subject matter of this book is handled with great care. Camp Damascus is Queer Horror at its finest. 

Do you like body horror? Demons? Revenge? Queer folks? Flame-throwers? You will love this book. 

This chilled me to my core. So good. A great social horror book set in the corporate publishing world. 

Super cute bookish romcom, some spice, good character growth and a ton of shoutouts of phenomenal fantasy books. Adorable. 

Holy shit, fascist haunted house! And TERFs! And the Trans experience! This book is brutal and disturbing and a genuinely great horror novel. It’s completely fucked up and really hard to read at times but the resolution is great and holy shit fuck that house. 

Halloween, 1984. 

A father and daughter setting up their annual Haunted Woods for the final time. 

Children getting ready to Trick or Treat through their suburban neighborhood. 

A family setting up for the giant neighborhood Halloween Party. 

Four strange children in outdated Halloween costumes looking terrified and murmuring about The Cunning Man. 

With twin flames for eyes, limbs that are twiggy and long, and a voice like the laughter of long lost children, The Cunning Man stalks the night. 

All Hallows lures the reader in with nostalgic Halloween memories, hooks them with neighborhood gossip, then guts them with a merciless, malevolent monster. 

There is evil in this book, and it will chill you to your core. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

I would simply die for Thimble. This book is such a warm hug. Low stakes, cozy fantasy. I want to curl up with a hot mug of coffee next to a fire and read this all over again. Truly lovely.
