Image of the audiobook cover that has a variety of shapes that are intended to be rainbow abstractions of the foliage from the woods, along with a sign post for the title. This signifies the remote location for the atonement camp. Among the abstract weeds and leaves, one may spot a cocktail glass, daiquiri glass, and a high-heeled shoe. Those objects blend in like camouflage within the images and serve as a link to the drag queens featured in the novel. The images are intentionally hard to see. This illustrates one of the book’s central themes - we sometimes only see what we want to.

In his first novel, young author Evan J. Corbin introduces the reader to a world that has been changed. A momentous archaeological discovery, an ancient manuscript, a religious revelation, equality for everyone, no matter their sexual orientation and a priest that cannot accept the new dogma. This is what happens when the unwilling priest is forced to go to the atonement camp for unrepentant homophobes, in order to keep his job. But, once he arrives, he realizes that maybe things are not as bad as he thinks.

A secluded location, drag queens, attractive pool boys, and a mysterious conspiracy will compel him to embark on a journey of self-discovery.

Experienced actor and voiceover artist Christopher Solon brings all these colorful and fascinating characters to life with a balanced performance. He reads at a steady pace, switching with ease between voices and accents, infusing this already intense story with even more urgency.

Fast paced, well written, easy to follow, interesting, funny and entertaining, this debut novel will keep the listener glued to his earbuds until the end. With an original plot and a diverse and inclusive cast of characters, Atonement Camp for Unrepentant Homophobes is a novel that should be experienced by everyone who is interested in the LGBTQ way of life.
