Postcards from a Dying World

Episode 80: Interview with Gretchen Felker-Martin author of Manhunt


Listen Later

In this episode, we talk about one of the most thought-provoking and controversial horror novels of the year with the author Gretchen  Felker-Martin. Manhunt is a brutal extreme horror novel as advertised.  The cover certainly should be warning enough. This novel has zero fucks  to give to any pearl-clutchers. That said it is also a character-driven story about a gender-specific apocalypse, and it might be the best one since the OG Alice Sheldon’s Screwfly Solution. The first one to really explore the issue from a trans point of view.  

I really enjoyed this conversation with Gretchen Felker-Martin who has had to put up with mountains of shit since this book was released.  Thankfully the people who have actually read it understand what she is trying to do. We don’t go heavy on spoilers but in this conversation, we talk about  Gretchen’s history with horror and writing. The construction of the novel, and the controversy a little bit. Honestly, I am much more interested in how this excellently written novel got constructed.
