“A masterful genre-bending horror novel, Manhunt is a must read.”-The Observer (UK) “The most unique perspective on one of the most well-trodden genres of the past several years, Manhunt takes no prisoners in its twisted tale of transgender and non-binary people in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.”-Buzzfeed “A grisly, gory, glorious work of splatterpunk social horror - and the perfect introduction to both subgenres.” - Bustle “The book is timely, visceral, grotesque, unflinching, and unexpectedly fun, full of sex and gore and messy, beautiful humanity.”- Vulture “It’s a book that almost no one will finish without finding something that shocks, appalls, or angers them, but anyone with the balls to tackle a truly transgressive horror novel will find much to savor.”- Esquire It’s a shockingly tender exploration of genders and bodies, of violence as a part of nature, of the way love is a tool of survival.” -The New Yorker “A filthy, furious delight within its tense, gruesome premise live roundly human characters, with big, unwieldy emotions. A fresh, stomach-turning take on gendered apocalypse.” - NPR “Disgustingly rendered and brilliantly imagined…. You should read it and share it with all your friends and enemies.” -Roxane Gay By far the best book I’ve read this year. “ Manhunt is sublime horror – gory, impeccably written, a condemnation and a celebration with a cast of incredibly flawed, deeply interesting characters….

GRETCHEN FELKER-MARTIN, author of Manhunt, is a Massachusetts-based horror author and film critic. Tormented and worked to the point of collapse by hardline religious zealots intent on straightening them out, they slowly become aware that something in the mountains north of the camp is speaking to them in their dreams, and that the children who return home to their families have…changed. In the late 90s, five queer kids, whose parents want them “fixed,” find themselves thrown together at a secretive “tough love” camp deep in the scorching Utah desert. Cuckoo is a searing new novel from Manhunt author Gretchen Felker-Martin, where a motley crew of kidnapped kids try to stay true to themselves while serving time in a conversion camp from hell.
