This was a fantastic journey - exactly the body horror, genre-bending, societal commentary I was looking for. No holds barred, as you can see by the trigger warnings, and the rawness of all the characters just blew me away. This is a trans book for trans (horror) readers, and nothing I could say could top this review by trans author Lee Mandelo: https://www.tor.com/2022/02/24/book-reviews-manhunt-by-gretchen-felker-martin/
