Felker-Martin, Gretchen
Entry updated 21 November 2022. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) US journalist and author whose first novel, the Near Future Dystopian Manhunt (2022), is set in an America ravaged by a Pandemic that afflicts those with a sufficient testosterone level, ie males, turning the survivors into feral Monsters. In an extremely violent world (see Horror in SF), the female protagonists, who are trans (see Transgender SF), hunt down the remaining males for their glands, while themselves being persecuted by TERFs (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists). The extremity of the world deployed may detract to some extent from Manhunt's value as prognosis. [JC]
