Felker-Martin, Gretchen - Manhunt

In this searing and provocative post-apocalyptic novel, Gretchen Felker-Martin explores the complexities of survival, identity, and queerness in a world ravaged by a mysterious plague that has transformed men into feral, bloodthirsty creatures. Beth and Fran, two trans women navigating the ravaged New England coast, hunt feral men for their organs in a desperate bid to stay alive and find a safe haven. Their journey takes a dark turn when they cross paths with Robbie, a trans man living by his own rules and armed with a gun. As they form an unlikely alliance, they must confront not only the lurking threat of feral men but also their own internal struggles and the harsh realities of a world that has become increasingly hostile to marginalized groups.

Blurb:

Manhunt is a visceral and unapologetic exploration of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity. Felker-Martin's unflinching prose and vivid imagery bring to life a world where survival is a daily struggle and the lines between predator and prey are blurred. The novel delves into the complexities of queer identity and challenges societal norms in a way that is both thought-provoking and cathartic.
