Bury Your Gays’ Remarkable Satirization of Hollywood🪓

[@XenithflareGaming]

Chuck Tingle still puts out the weird smut! I subscribe to them on Amazon just so I can get notified of every amazing title they release. Never fails to make me laugh, with my favorites being: "Pounded By The Physical Manifestation Of The Feeling That I Ordered The Wrong Thing Because I Wasn’t Quite Ready When The Waiter Came Over But My Friends Were" "Bisexually Banged By These Sentient Plastic Easter Eggs Who Eat Me Out From Both Sides While Im In A Standing Position Which Is A Pretty Cool Move"

[@Amanda-if7ey]

Chuck Tingle is a national treasure. I went to his book event and he had us play an interactive cryptid dating game (The Babadok won, obviously), and then he read reviews and we had to guess if they were goodreads reviews about his book, or letterboxd reviews about movies. It was the most chaotic and unhinged book event I've ever been to and also probably my favorite.

[@Turbo_Waitress]

The greatest author of our time, Dr. Chuck Tingle! I am so glad to see a Chuck Tingle book on the channel.

[@alexthewarg]

I'm so freaking excited that you reviewed this MASTERPIECE of a book Even happier that you enjoyed it, this book deserves so much more hype, and turned out to be one of my all time favorites

[@JoshMannon]

Emotionally connecting to a Chuck Tingle novel in any other way than humor and unlocking new, disturbing kinks sounds impossible but I am listening.

[@Narcixus]

An Ace hero? Why, Daniel, are you forgetting Monkey D. Luffy?

[@DanielGreeneReviews]

Luffy is clearly attracted to food and I will die on this hill.

I actually just recommended Camp Damascus to my therapist yesterday. I am new to queer media as well. I absolutely love Chuck!

[@tunafarrell2067]

Glad to hear your love of man named Chuck and trotting the trot. Love is real.

[@CHUCKLZLORD]

I'm going to DNF this review because your opening was so good that I literally want to read it right now. Thank you. Sorry if that hurts the algorithm

[@soniciris]

Clicked on this so fast! I love Chuck. It's a delight to follow him on Tumblr, what a fun human being. And he will tell you his tinglers aren't parodies, they're actual art, and I personally don't get it but there's plenty of art I don't understand so it's all chill! I think he mostly objects to being called a parody writer because sincerity and being your authentically weird self is so essential to him. 😎

[@AmandasBuns]

This sounds like a really interesting book! Thank you for putting it on my radar!

[@EotuaDawnwalker]

Ace main character I love so dearly: Murderbot! It's aroace and I love it for that as an ace person myself.

[@22freedom33]

Those titles are wild, like a parody of books released inside the universe of a comedy movie lol

[@chelsikay13]

I'm so freaking happy to finally see Bury Your Gays be reviewed by one of my favorites!

[@Stephen-Fox]

Been meaning to pick this up at some point since seeing The Ace Couple's review of it from the perspective of how the ace rep is, and this just confirms it.

[@renskedunnewold1995]

The non-spoiler part of this video got me to pick up the book, and I loved it! The flashback scenes were so heartbreaking, I really connected with Misha

[@Toby-rj4tm]

Haven’t read it, but I will be rectifying that very soon. I’m reading Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle… and holy shit! Yeah, I’m sold

[@YouWinILose]

Uh will absolutely check it out!! Thanks! Two great queer reccs: Autobiogrpahy of Red by Anne Carson - a strange, sad poetic work that turns Heracles and Geryon into queer youth. The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai - an incredible story about friendship and trauma and art preservation, framed by the AIDS epidemic. The most emotional ending of any book I've ever read. I tear up every time i think of it.

[@themythosarchives7520]

I’m not the biggest horror fan I don’t know about this. DG: ace character and commentary on ace rep. Me: dammit my tbr is already in shambles. And it sounds good.

[@chelseyjohnson501]

That smoker scared me so much. The narrator in the audiobook did a good job with the voice for that character 😬

[@Delianpy]

1:58 my jaw just dropped and then I immediately started laughing 😂 well done man. We all love Chuck ❤

[@mandolinbee]

tingle won a freaking Hugo ??

[@jonasquinn7977]

IIRC he’s never won but he was one of the finalists in 2016 and 2017, the former as a concerted effort by bigots to push a “joke” book to winning over anything that isn’t written by a straight white man. He of course completely disavowed this movement and made it clear that if he did win as a result he would ask Zoe Quinn, a game developer/writer who had been harassed by several members of that same movement, to accept on his behalf. Though his nominations did get us the masterpieces “Pounded In The Butt By My Hugo Award Loss” and “Pounded In The Butt By My Second Hugo Award Nomination.”

[@BeccaisReading]

His debut horror Camp Demascus is also amazing! It is also heavy handed like Bury your gays but is super emotionally impactful and in my opinion scarier.

[@MsNocreativity]

Have you read Camp Damascus? It's a little more YA, but it was the first Chuck Tingle horror that I read, and I found it surprisingly spooky

[@danielvaldez1683]

Yay love when one of your vids come on, especially on a shitty Friday for me

[@mittenielsen8424]

I hope your Friday turns around and becomes better for you 💕💕💕

[@arabellawillow]

I also hope that you have a redemption styled Friday and it ends up being an awesome day 🎉

[@lukephillips8920]

This world is undeserving of Chuck Tingle, truly a gem.

[@Fledor.]

I have a hard time finding really good queer fantasy so I'm very much looking forward to a future "best queer fantasy books of XXX" video

[@MILOPETIT]

That goes for sci fi too. I like to read about societies I'd want to live in to some extent, and those would have to be explicitly gay friendly. That's pretty hard to find tho. Thank god for Becky Chambers

[@atquinn1975]

I've only read a few of his short stories, but I absolutely love all of his videos. I will be buying this book.

[@gaara_of_the_desert1118]

For half a second I was like "Why so many dislikes?" then I realized "Oh right, bigots."

[@Silvio67]

Love the intro: quietly says 'bury your..' , then loudly 'GAYS!'. 😂

[@crimsonraen]

Thanks for the video Daniel! :D

[@CaptainMagni]

I saw a Chuck Tingle book in the window display of a big bookstore in New York and I couldn't believe my eyes, I was showing my wife all his book titles but she still didn't get why it was a huge deal lol

[@AlexSmith-dx5kp]

Robert Silverberg wrote smut during the early portions of his career while becoming one of the best sci-fi / fantasy authors of all time. So Chuck may have more Hugos to come :)

[@michaelavail3554]

I cannot wait to read this! Also, I think a good ace character is the fool from Robin Hobbs novels

[@SparkAce1]

This sounds like a really interesting and important read. I hope this does well in the algorithim so that it’s seen by the people who could benefit from it.

[@mjdoombreed]

So, does the Thin Lipped Man still grind your bones if you genuinely don't have a way to give him a light? Asking for a friend, please hurry.

[@keelys.2966]

Great review! Read this last month and loved it as well :D

[@gamer46ful]

I cannot wait to pick this up. I have been wanting to read Chuck Tingle since college. I am so excited to see how this book goes and check it out for sure.

[@kalil2669]

Tingle is obviously Stephen King

[@LB_5346]

LOVEEEE THISSSSS. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO MORE TINGLE! Maybe some fun goofy silly stuff? Trans Harriet is a fav. But also Dr. Tingle, excuse me, MULTIPLE HUGO NOMINATED AND WINNER Dr. Tingle *respect on his name* will always have a special place in my heart. I live in MT too, and it’s so great to know I have an ally, well two because Hank, obvi. But also because Dr. T is helping me so much with my MDD and it’s darkest/permanent side by sometimes being the only escape from the dark recesses of my mind, and offering the occasional laugh

[@naastyaaaaaaaaa]

12:07 Georgia from "Loveless" by Alice Oseman.😌 Highly recommend!💜

[@reflectiverambling1148]

I was so SO fortunate to have an ARC of the audiobook. At first I was a little eye roll about how how over the top it was having been over a lot of this stuff as someone who has immersed themselves in queer media for quite a while now. But as I went along I got into it as a stylistic choice and as someone who is not the world's biggest horror fan I still appreciate it--you're right. As one of those Ace people I don't expect to have massive amounts of rep. We're only a teeny slice of the rainbow. But seeing it used as a superpower literally made me choke up a little. Please note, I was listening at work. 😅 I am so SO delighted to hear it landed so well with you as you have such an influence.

[@nzstoddart3762]

This book is on my to read list. I've read his debut novel called Camp Damascus and it was awesome. I kind of think that Chuck Tingle is like Clive Barker but with a sense of humor.

[@lamofaco8537]

I'm reading this immediately.

[@PedroRodrigues-fh1ku]

That would be a cool idea for a video with recommendations of queer horror books. From the top of my head I can only remember Clive Barker, specifically Sacrament

[@PedroRodrigues-fh1ku]

Clive Barker is always making books about commentary on hollywood, like Cold Heart Canyon. Also Another author that did an amazing job on this theme is Todd Grimson with Brand new Cherry Flavour that was adapted to a netflix show recently (and even tho it's a really good show it's VERY different from the book)

[@DangoWangochu]

Daniel where is one piece fan letter reaction??

[@aaron_osborne]

Tingle is new to me so I’m fascinated by the book as an LGBT ally. Regarding tv shows Heartstopper on Netflix seems wholesome.

[@Scixxy]

I hope you also get to read Man name of Chuck's other horror novels, Straight and Camp Damascus!

[@Riggsy_17]

Every time you say Chuck Tingle my brain tries to correct it to, Nope, Chuck Testa

[@edsheeran1243]

What if chuck tingle was actually Dixon Dallas the whole time?

[@deborahcardillo3976]

For those looking for an Ace protagonist I can recommend She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan

[@penelopemillar637]

He was nominated twice but hasn’t won a Hugo. He has gotten some awards for his other horror stuff I think.

[@Cisfordelta]

Bro, you got to take it easy with the spice.

[@MMHay16]

If the sledgehammer on the cover was not indication enough that this book is Not Subtle, Misha and Tara being named after a couple of the greatest queerbaits in the monster of the week horror subgenre should do it for you lmao

[@otsoko66]

Tara wasn't really queerbait -- she was an out Lesbian all along. What Misha and Tara had in common was that they were both killed. (well, Misha sent to super-hell seconds after saying he loved another man.... sheesh.)

[@Isilranna]

He’s written on Tumblr that All of his books are 100 sincere writing for him, and are not parody.

[@johannageisel5390]

Guest I might finally purchase a Chuck Tingle book.

[@bogread3r]

I wonder if you would like Siren Queen by Nghi Vo which explores the exploitative side of Hollywood, particularly for women and people of colour trying to become actors, through magical realism. I'm about halfway through the book rn

[@brandilynn2017]

This sounds like the kind of story the folks behind The Substance could do something interesting with in adaptation.

[@casualcraftman1599]

Being haunted by the fictional monsters you created terrifies me as someone that decided to cut a blood bending clown from a cosmic horror story for being too creepy. I will never use the bury your gays trope. It would be nice for Bella Ramsey to have one lesbian role that doesn't end tragically.

[@theonyxblack]

❤

[@smittenforfiction]

Bury Your Gays is my fav horror book of the year! I thought fans of Fringe would like it.

[@thequest6072]

You've gotta check out everything by Jason Pargin! He does an amazing deconstruction of what happens when you deny the needs of your mental health through the lens of comedy horror in the JDATE series and absurdist parody of capitalism through Zoey Ashe.... It's just phenomenal

[@alanamccool7409]

Yeah, Dr. Tingle is amazing! Loved both Camp Damascus and Bury Your Gays. Also, not "used to" they still write weird erotic short stories. And they did not win a Hugo, they got two Hugo nominations.

[@JoeAuerbach]

Joe, you said many times that the book was over the top, and I agree it feels that way but it's also worth pointing out to people that... For a Chuck tingle novel, this is quite restrained

[@claytongriffith8323]

I didn't know Chuck Tingle moved away from smutt satire

[@byronlabonte6320]

Another lgbtq+ horror novel that you should check out is Red X by David Demchuk. It’s about a supernatural entity preying on the gay community of Toronto. The story covers 30 years and shows the evolution of the gay community over that time.

[@TylerDurden-h6w]

Gonna stop watching, because I just realized how much I'd rather read it first. This sounds awesome, and I truly believe it will be, as I have already read and loved his book Camp Damascus.

[@jessecohen5136]

Speaking of queer media: I keep hoping you'll give Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner series a go at some point.

[@reneeannreads]

If you haven’t already, you NEED to read Camp Damascus! It has similar elements of queer characters battling their fears and their own demons! You’ll love it!

[@Atlas9766]
