Lucky Day

An existential masterwork that, like life, is equal parts atrocity and delights.
-Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of Masters of Death

A subtly post-Covid gorefest about collective and individual trauma, bisexual erasure and probability.
-The Guardian

Ambitious, face-melting goodness that continues to frazzle brains until the very end. It will get readers thinking, it might make them cry, but most importantly, it will remind them that, with absolute certainty, love is real.
-FanFiAddict

A unique voice with horror literature.
-Bloody Flicks

One of the oddest and most enjoyable books I have read in a long time.
-SF Book Reviews

A full-throttle existential horror story that shares more DNA with The X-Files by way of Final Destination than anything else on the shelves, filtered through a lens of identity, loss, and cold statistical logic.
-Cinema Chords

A spectacularly crazy book, one that is both incredibly fun to read, deeply questioning and thought provoking, joyous in its celebration of the meaning of living, defiant in the face of everything that's wrong with the world, society, and inspiring in its ultimate message.
-FanFiAddict

Sparkles and shines as bright as the Las Vegas strip! Lucky Day fearlessly explores existence, absurdity, and love as only Chuck Tingle can do it. It will shock, thrill, and unlock new fears never even dreamt of. This is Tingle at his strangest and bloodiest.
-CJ Leede, USA Today bestselling author of American Rapture

A transcendent bisexual fantasia. Prepare to be astonished, unnerved, and ultimately, delighted. Lucky Day is groundbreaking, surrealist horror like you've never seen before.
-Liz Kerin, author of Night's Edge

Tingle wows with an absurdist existential horror novel that is as funny as it is unexpectedly devastating, complex, and challenging...Combining irreverent moments of surreality with an earnest message about finding hope even in the face of brutality, this is Tingle's best yet.
-Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

Tingle's latest is an absurd romp, but underneath the off-the-wall mayhem lies his most sophisticated work to date.
-Booklist, STARRED REVIEW

Lucky Day solidifies Tingle as horror's most unpredictable vital voice. It's a wild, wise, and weirdly hopeful ride that balances brainy speculation with heart-pounding terror.
-Ginger Nuts of Horror

PRAISE FOR BURY YOUR GAYS

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

This triumph of a book effortlessly and cleverly upends cliche. 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

RIP gay clichÈs! 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 Heads Will Roll

We have what I'm coming to think of as the trademark Tingle style; effortless character work and world-building, a ruthlessly efficient and immediate pulp prose style that belies an impressive depth of storytelling in terms of concepts and themes, and a damn near visionary ability to speak directly to bleeding edge concerns of the cultural moment.
-Ginger Nuts of Horror

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)

PRAISE 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

Righteous anger seethes beneath the surface in this well-wrought horror tale.
--The Financial Times

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

Camp Damascus is a queer horror novel that unpacks the cruelty of conversion camps and that particular brand of religious fervor that actively harms people who are different under the guise of godliness....It is genuinely horrifying.... It is also beautiful and affirming.
-Tor.com

Camp Damascus feels like a fantastic debut, and a subtle reinvention, and a proper evolution, all at once....a genuinely great horror story.
-BoingBoing

This chilling page-turner should win Tingle a slew of new fans.
-Publishers Weekly

A joyful, furious romp through dark places, Tingle proves he's as good at fear as he is at love.
-T. Kingfisher, bestselling author of What Moves the Dead

Camp Damascus is a hell of a ride. Tingle is right at home in the horror genre - he delivers all the thrills of a slasher while exploring the deep wounds that can be inflicted by broken systems. This book is worth your time.
-Sarah Gailey, author of Just Like Home

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 Gift

This book is for anyone who thought they were going to hell for being themselves. Chuck Tingle takes that fear and weaves it into a seamless horror that will keep you up at night, not only because it's got monsters but because we've known those monsters. And yet it still proves love is real. Camp Damascus is a big hug to all of us who had to fight to find each other.
-J.R. Dawson, author of The First Bright Thing

Intelligent, cleverly written, and subversive. A strong and brilliant story of identity, love, sincerity, and personal triumphs even when things get dark.
-R.R. Virdi, USA Today bestselling author of The First Binding

Thrilling, engrossing, surprising, and ultimately uplifting. I loved it. Tingle blends horror and sincerity and makes it look easy, producing a mystery of betrayal and righteous justice that you won't forget.
-Ryan North, New York Times bestselling & Eisner-winning author

Clever, scary as hell, and deeply satisfying. Love is real, and it transcends genre.
-Jay Edidin, cohost of Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men podcast

A well-crafted and surprisingly moving novel. And certainly quite different from Tingle's previous work...
