tressym_wizard's review against another edition

This book isn't a trans themed apocalypse, it's a compendium of gross sex scenes with some badly written apocalypse sub plots. I got 50 pages in and had to give up at the 10th sex scene. This book was not advertised in the porn section, I picked it up cause it was a queer horror, but it's honestly very fedishey. They constantly harp about never being seen as a woman in the sex scenes and they are full of shame and self worth issues. There are multiple on page rape scenes with and without monsters and every time they go to camp for the night they immediately start fucking. This book was a stomachache and gave me the feeling like I had gotten food poisoning and was about to vomit. And as a final note the writing is tacky, I could have forgiven it if it leaned into the jokes, but it took itself so seriously when the side villan was terfs...
Do not read this book, it's gross fetishist rape scenes.

carleneb's review

This very dark and very graphic. Often unnecessarilly explicitly sexual seemingly at random. 

The writing is amazing and it is very well written but the content was too dark for me.

disclaimer: I don’t really give starred reviews. I hope my reviews provide enough information to let you know if a book is for you or not. Find me here: https://linktr.ee/bookishmillennial

I am going to be frank - I will likely be processing what I read for a while, so I’m unsure if I’ll have anything coherent to say, other than to check content warnings below (a lot of shock value stuff in this) if you decide to read this book and take care while reading. 

I will try another book by the author, but I feel conflicted about this book.

TERFs hate this book because they’re transphobic and weak. I (they/them) hate this book because it’s bad. We are NOT the same. 😤
