Full disclosure: I don’t generally read horror. 

This book was disgusting, perfect, challenging, and relatable, unfortunately. Not for the faint of heart but absolutely worth it if you can get through the gore 🏳️‍⚧️

2.5

I feel like the story was very loose and not well put together. Also my my genre so maybe in bias.

alienguy's review against another edition

the author's barely disguised fetishes just felt gross. none of the story elements were playing well together. i think all horror should be tempered with comedy, but this just felt like trauma porn with a few badly timed, disturbing jokes. 

i think all stories about trans people are important. i'll fiercely defend this book's existence, but it's absolutely not for me, lmfao

Despite some lagging in the plot, the characterization and world-building is phenomenal, and the exploration of gender politics and transphobia is nuanced and unabashed.

The transphobia is intense, and mainly comes from cis-women. Cis-men are now feral, so there is a fair amount of castration.

5.0

Post-apocalyptic hyper-gory trans horror, about a future where a virus has turned all humans with a certain level of testosterone into monsters. Incredible character writing, especially enjoyed the two trans female pov characters and their views on trans womanhood in their TERF-ruled dystopia in which maleness is actually the ultimate mark of violence. Absolutely not for the faint of heart
TWS: extreme violence, rape & sexual violence (on-page), misogyny, violent transphobia, racism (including lynching), body horror, fascism, frequent and detailed discussions of body image, eating disorders, medical trauma.
