I have decided, in the interest of article flow, to give the full list of content warnings at the end of this review. The content warnings are numerous, but at its heart the story is in turns touching, funny, and cathartic, and if zombie apocalypse fiction is in your wheelhouse, you should give it a try. Manhunt is a book of many bloody layers, all of them delightfully queer. A few marathon sessions – and some screeching at my book friends over messaging – later, and I had zero regrets and a lot of thoughts. And to tell the truth, I’ve mostly gone off of apocalypse fiction the last few years – given the state of the real world – but I was intensely interested in a trans-centered apocalypse story, and requested that my library purchase it. The pair of bloody testicles suggested by the cover tells you that right off the bat. I knew going into Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin that it was going to be a wild ride.
