If I had a dollar for every horror book I read this year (that was also published this year) in which a conservative cult used powers beyond mortal ken to enforce their conservative agenda onto a bunch of queer and neurodivergent children who then turned that power around to decimate the cult at some point in their lives, I would have two dollars, which isn't a lot but it's great that it happened twice.

Anyway, read Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle and Mister Magic by Kiersten White.

Favorite Horror Novels I Read in 2023:

[songofsunset]

A) I just accidentally stayed up WAY past my bedtime reading this book in one go

B) this book should be read by everyone who is exmormon and even remotely interested in horror/fantasy/those weird children's shows with a cast of kids hanging out and doing things

"as the years passed, the fear didn't fade, but she grew into it. grew around it. grew stubborn and strong-willed, ignoring the shape of the fear at the core of her. and even though she wanted to know, needed to know, how her mother died, she wasn't going to ask. not ever."

"mister magic" a genuinely good book so far. a little over halfway through it and it definitely is one of those ones you want to go into completely blind but i'm really enjoying it . does a good job of laying enough breadcrumbs that the reader picks up on where it's going before some of the characters do, but the characters don't look dumb for taking so long to figure it out because they have personalities/experiences that preclude them from Noticing certain stuff, and it's not SO spelled out that the reader who gets it really early will get bored; there are still things you want answers to or elaboration on. and that is ALL i will say for now

"Your favorite childhood television program feels like a fever dream. You don't remember it at all until I start humming the theme song and then--oh, I can see it in your eyes. The wash of images, ideas feelings."

I am being read to filth by this book, I think I said some of this verbatim yesterday. I feel like I knew how difficult being a parent would be, but because I had this really deep unshakable love for my mother I always thought I would feel that coming from my children, and it’s so difficult to have them at stages of their life where they can’t emotionally regulate and regularly lash out telling me I am the worst mom and they hate me. Since my remaining parent is the one who has always been emotionally abusive and kept his love from me, I really thought having my own kids was a way to feel surrounded by love and instead I am constantly drained of my love? With no way to refill myself so I can continue to pour that love into the children like they want/need
