In the harrowing wastelands of a world undone, "Manhunt" by Gretchen Felker-Martin carves a relentless path through the remnants of society, where the fabric of civilization has been torn asunder by a cataclysm that has rendered men into feral beings. Amidst this desolation, Beth and Fran, two trans women, navigate the treacherous New England coast, engaging in a grotesque ballet of survival that involves hunting these savage men and harvesting their organs. Their grim routine is a desperate bid to escape a fate they fear more than death itself. Each day is a testament to their resilience, a grim acknowledgment of the measures they must take to ensure their continued existence in a world that has turned its back on humanity. Their fragile semblance of control is upended with the arrival of Robbie, a survivor whose principles are as unyielding as his will to live. Bound together by circumstance, this unlikely trio is thrust into a nightmare odyssey that forces them to confront not just the external monstrosities that stalk them, but also the internal demons that haunt their every step. As they traverse a landscape littered with the vestiges of a society that once was, they face threats that are as much ideological as they are physical - from murderous TERFs to a sociopathic billionaire's dystopian sanctuary. "Manhunt" is not just a story of survival; it is a bold reimagining of the post-apocalyptic narrative, challenging the conventions of gender and genre with a visceral, unflinching gaze. Through the eyes of its protagonists, the novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the indomitable nature of the human spirit, making it a seminal work in speculative fiction.
