To be upfront, Manhunt is not for everyone. Told from a trans perspective, Manhunt is a fresh, stomach-turning take on gendered apocalypse. Oh, plus a faction of authoritarian trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs) slowly taking over the Eastern seaboard, killing trans people just as quickly as the infected beasts will. In Gretchen Felker-Martin's electric debut novel Manhunt, the book's nightmare world is populated with everyone left - mostly cisgender women, but there are also plenty of non-binary people, transgender men, and transgender women. In an apocalypse where a virus turns anyone with enough testosterone into a feral, cannibalistic beast, who survives?
