Gretchen Felker-Martin

Y: The Last Man meets The Girl With All the Gifts in Gretchen Felker-Martin's Manhunt, a fast-paced body horror that examines a post-apocalyptic world through the lens of trans women and men trying to survive. 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 timely, powerful response to every gender-based apocalypse story that failed to consider the existence of transgender and non-binary people, Manhunt is full of body horror, desire, and a grotesque spectrum of pain.

Suddenly, the group of girls fell silent. They parted as smoothly as a set of drapes and a thin, pale woman of unremarkable height, maybe 40 years old, strode through the divided group towards the bikes. She wore crisp fatigues and a short, tight leather jacket zipped up to her collarbones.  On her forehead, dead center above the bridge of her pert little ski slope nose, was a stark tattoo: XX. Pussy certified all-natural by the Daughters of the Witches You Couldn't Burn or whatever Michigan women's music festival bullshit the TERFocracy in Maryland bowed down to. Fuck. 

The world is over,  and the only way I can know myself is by hating other women. 

How to immediately endear me to characters forever… fyi

"That fake-punk bitch," Beth growled through gritted teeth as Fran probed at the edges of her wound. "Bet she had white dreads in college. Bet she blogged about how her straight boyfriend 'felt unwelcome' at Pride. Ah, Jesus, that stings!"
