The USA Today bestselling novel from Gretchen Felker-Martin, where a group of teens must stay true to themselves while in a conversion camp from hell.


"A soaring, boundless ode to queer survival. It's flat-out mesmerizing."—Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie

Something evil is buried deep in the desert. It wants your body. It wears your skin.

In the summer of 1995, seven queer kids abandoned by their parents at a remote conversion camp came face to face with it. They survived—but at Camp Resolution, everybody leaves a different person.

Sixteen years later, only the scarred and broken survivors of that terrible summer can put an end to the horror before it's too late.

The fate of the world depends on it.

"With Cuckoo, Felker-Martin appoints herself the new High Priestess of splatter."—Tony Tulathimutte, author of National Book Award finalist Rejection

I don’t typically say that I “hate” anything, but I absolutely hated the experience of reading this
