very triggering for mentioned triggers, check them beforehand if senstitive because there are very graphic descriptions throughout (mainly different forms of violence and sex)

Wow this book is a trip! If you're mad at toxic cis men and terfs, then this book is super cathartic. If you're trans and fragile, then be warned that there is a lot of trauma here. Like. So. Much. Trauma. Queer zombie apocalypse tho, very early 2000s vibes.

I think this book had the potential to be something really interesting and riveting but in my opinion the message got lost behind all the seemingly pointless sex scenes and explicit gore.

larzhagen's review against another edition

- Incredibly violent and graphic sexual scenes back to back that did not seem necessary to the plot/character development.
- Dialogue seems unnatural; Beth's dialogue, for example, carries a humor which doesn't fit the horrific situations she's recently been through. "It's the last man on earth. How's it hangin', pal?" (p.57)
- Excessive use of epithets i.e. "... glancing at the injured girl" (p.55), and "the other woman" in lieu of characters' names.

I have and will continue to support trans authors. It's unfortunate that I did not enjoy GFM's writing, nor the material in Manhunt.
