NOTI MAN HUNT SKIN

The three of them return to Boston (with harvested testicles in tow) to Indiresh, a cis woman fertility specialist that processes their estrogen, only to find that a militia of TERFs has rolled into the city. They are nearly taken down by a horde of feral men when they're helped by Robbie, a trans guy loner who had been luckily (or unluckily, depending on how you look at it) to be off his testosterone when the virus appeared.

Synthesizing it from the estrogen-laden testicles of the beasts is one of these options.įelker-Martin constructs the monsters of the novel beautifully: the men are 'matted, filthy,' 'the skin flaking and greasy,' mouths 'dripping nameless dark fluid.' They ' down meat in chunks' 'like an alligator horking down a fish.' They exist only to consume flesh and to rape, running in packs to chase down anyone that they can smell on the wind.īeth and Fran's hunting trip goes horribly wrong.

In this reality, trans women, some non-binary people, and cis women who have polycystic ovarian syndrome - a condition that can increase testosterone levels - have few options for keeping their estrogen up. The book begins with Beth and Fran, two trans women on the hunt for feral men. I mean all this as a sincere compliment to Felker-Martin's work. I am sure it will challenge many trans readers (like myself) as much as it will challenge cis readers.

It is gory, and brutal, and sickened me more than any other horror novel I've read in recent memory. To be upfront, Manhunt is not for everyone.
