Gretchen Felker-Martin's Manhunt is an explosive post-apocalyptic novel that follows trans women and men on a grotesque journey of survival.
“A modern horror masterpiece.” —Carmen Maria Machado, bestselling author of In the Dream House
“Keeps up a relentless velocity while just being plain fun as hell.”—Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby
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 Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.

Critic reviews
2022, Library Journal Best Books of the Year, Long-listed
“An audacious dystopian story...destined to be one of the year’s most talked-about novels.” (Electric Lit)
“I dub this the great Terf-pocalypse novel.... I cannot underscore enough how much I love this novel.” (CrimeReads)
“Reading this book was like tonguing a live wire; I loved every moment and I still haven’t recovered. As erotic as it is devastating, as brilliant as it is visceral, Manhunt is a modern horror masterpiece.” (Carmen Maria Machado, best-selling author of In the Dream House and National Book Award finalist for Her Body and Other Parties)

Heaps of gory fun
Gory, over the top fun that nonetheless hit me with a dysphoria gutpunch despite being a cis guy. Performance was great (so many game attempts at northeast coast accents, have to respect it), pacing skips along and the premise is just so wild you have to hold your nose and dive in after the writer. text could maybe have done with another editors pass - there's a few bits where characters think about stuff only a reader would consider, not a real person - but other than that the writing has verve.

A violent, thrilling and gorey ride
brilliant story, great characters, took me a few minutes to lock into the narration but really enjoyed it. If you are a queer horror fan it's an absolute must listen

Great listen!
Really enjoyed this book! You can tell who hasn’t read it and are jumping to faux outrage!
Completely messed up in parts - but isn’t that why we like this genre!
Thank you to the Daily Mail and Anti-Trans Activists for recommending this book! Will definitely be supporting Gretchen Felker-Martin more by exploring more of her work!

Heart wrenching
Okay - so people are maybe going to know this from the negative reviews , from the controversy - good - I hope you hate listen to this and it’s absolutely heart wrenching tale of people - just people trying to get by at the end of the world - the insightful way it captures the trans experience- in a could be wilderness - brought me to tears - I really want to come back to this place to find out what happened to Robbie or Beth - outstanding

for me it was hard to follow with the switching perspective. not sure of its the book or the narrator but the result is the same. half the time I had no idea what was going on outside of the broad strokes

Nice and Meaty
Great job, I was engaged all the way through. I got a bit confused sometimes but I just went with it. Loved descriptions of the nasty bits.

still thinking about this book six months later
I think that the writers greatest achievement is their characterisation. the characters are believable and authentic and that is very refreshing. I feel like I met and made friends with some amazing women, fictional women but still amazing.
The plot moves along at a good pace and kept me coming back, it's no more or no less plausible than any other apocalyptic novel and it answered a question, what happens to all the queers ilat the end of the world? why are apocalypse survivors always straight!
My only complaint is the volume of sex scenes that did little to develop the plot or characters. I think the author was probably trying to make a point about trans people and sex but for me it was too much.
I'd like to thank the author for this stellar contribution to the genre, we need more books like this. Not just because it's queer but because it's queer and well-written.

Powerful horror
This is a dark horror adventure with a lot of blood and a lot of heart. It made me grimace and laugh in equal measure. Not for the faint of heart but definitely worth a read or listen.
I would definitely check out more from this author. The narrator was good too, I liked the accents.

Difficult to Follow - I gave up.
Great narration, Great concept, terrible delivery.
I struggled to keep track of what was happening most of the time and just gave up listening half way through.
Perhaps the author was trying to elicit a sense of confusion to add an extra layer of atmosphere. It’s a real shame because for me, queer + dystopia should be a winning combination!
Unfortunately this book left me feeling rather foolish for not being able to ‘keep up’.

Not my thing
Story was difficult to follow. The narrator does not stick one accent wich is confusing. I gave up mid way eventually.
