Historia
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.

Excellent, scary and ambitious

I enjoyed Manhunt enough to make this an instant buy when it released. It hits the horror, heart, and humor (no really! It's dry, but it's there!) just as well or better than that title did. The cast give it their all as these poor kids drag themselves through a gory, paranoid, claustrophobic nightmare of a story. Felker-Martin shows she can shift genre from near-future dystopia to near-past fantasy without missing a beat.

Historia
Most people have heard of the Celts - the elusive, ancient tribal people who resided in present-day England, Ireland, Scotland and France. Paradoxically characterized as both barbaric and innocent, the Celts appeal to the modern world as a symbol of a bygone era, a world destroyed by the ambition of empire and the spread of Christianity throughout Western Europe. Despite the pervasive cultural and literary influence of the Celts, shockingly little is known of their way of life and beliefs, because very few records of their stories exist.

Good stories, bad formatting
Revisado: 06-19-24
This book has a scholarly tone and cites the sources for the myths well. Unfortunately, it was not adapted well for audio.
I was surprised after the intro that there weren't notes or citations, but guessed that they had been left out of the text to allow the stories to flow better. Nope! There *were* endnotes throughout, but this was not indicated in the reading; instead, there's a ~15min nigh-unintelligible chunk of notes at the end of the recording.
Probably better to pick this up as a text, even though hearing the pronunciation of the names and places was a treat.
