Manhunt is an explosive post-apocalyptic novel that follows trans women and trans men on a grotesque journey of survival.
"A modern horror masterpiece." -Carmen Maria Machado
Beth and Fran spend their days traveling the ravaged New England coast, hunting feral men and harvesting their organs in a gruesome effort to ensure they'll never face the same fate.
Robbie lives by his gun and one hard-learned motto: other people aren't safe.
After a brutal accident entwines the three of them, this found family of survivors must navigate murderous TERFs, a sociopathic billionaire bunker brat, and awkward relationship dynamics-all while outrunning packs of feral men, and their own demons.
"A filthy, furious delight."-The New Yorker
Also by Gretchen Felker-Martin:
Cuckoo
Black Flame

I've heard and read so many different things about this book, I was excited to get into it - and it didn't disappoint!If you don't like splatter, gore and brutality, this book is not for you. But if you don't mind those things, you're in for an engaging story that has a lot to say about our modern world, some biting social commentary, a bit of satire, with interesting characters who all feel authentic and real, who are flawed and learn and sometimes also don't. Felker-Martin has a lot to say and she says it in a unique voice.I'm not sure if I am giving this book 4 or 5 stars, which usually means I should have eye-read it (in which case it would have been 5 stars) and not listened to it (in which case it gets 4 stars).
