Adam thought he was going to summer camp. But he accidentally joined a cult. In this twisted queer thriller, Adam Underhill is Point Liberty High School's class clown. But behind his cheery exterior, he's trying his best to hide the fact that he's attracted to other guys. When his very religious parents find out his secret, they ship him off to what he thinks is a summer camp. But Camp Empyrean is actually a gay conversion cult, hidden deep in a forest, where its leaders use bizarre and sometimes brutal means to reform their members. Adam's only spark of joy during this horrible summer is another camper, Evan Montana. The guys bond over their love of old movies, hockey, and pizza. As their friendship deepens into something possibly romantic, they face punishment from the camp's leaders. Camp Empyrean is determined to teach the guys harsh lessons about what it means to be a man. But Adam and Evan know that if they want to be together there's only one thing they need to learn: HOW TO ESCAPE A CULT. ~~~ From the author of THE TEACHER INSIDE ME and HUNTER'S HIDDEN CAMERA (which together racked up more than 3 million reads before being removed), HOW TO ESCAPE A CULT is unsettlingly dark, unexpectedly funny, wildly romantic, and so unforgettable that it will mark you for life. Read it now before it gets taken down. ~~~ © 2025 by Anthony Auswat.
