Chuck Tingle: Bury Your Gays (2024, Doherty Associates, LLC, Tom)

From Chuck Tingle, author of the USA Today bestselling Camp Damascus, comes a new heart-pounding …

Michael Crichton and Ryan Murphy Present: *Prey the Gay Away*

At places, this novel can feel like a novella or novellette stretched to full length. Elements of Tingle's shorter fare have been pulled out and expanded to craft a horror plot, rather than a romance one.

Scientists, as depicted here, are uninquisitive and incapable of being self-critical. Ecological science is apparently based on reading Watership Down and Beatrix Potter and not scientific observation. The author has a poor idea of restorative ecology and how ecological systems work. The main character doesn't know what petals look like, yet grew up on a farm.

Also, this book does not reveal who did the crime that this book is about.
