## Resource

This month our hosts, Chris and Amy, survived the harsh New England dystopian nightmare that is Manhunt , a trans-centric and unabashedly queer horror novel written by Gretchen Felker-Martin. We feel that Chris summed it up best: “ Manhunt is a novel that dares you to read it, to feel the way its characters feel, and to grapple with the reality that is being a transwoman in a world that wants you dead .” Join Chris and Amy as they unpack what makes this book queer, what makes this book essential reading for fans of the genre, and ultimately, what makes Gretchen a groundbreaking voice in queer horror.
