Camp Damascus

Hidden in the woods of Montana, Camp Damascus is the most effective gay conversion camp in existence. Parents from all over the world send their children there for a program that boasts a 100% success rate. However, that is not what this story is about. This story is about Rose Darling, a God-fearing young woman who vomits flies incessantly. It is about her parents, who ignore their daughter’s visions of an unsettling woman with pale, wrinkled skin watching her from afar. It is about Rose’s deepest desires—which seem to make no sense—and her nightmares, which increasingly resemble memories. And perhaps—just perhaps—it is also a little bit about Camp Damascus itself.
