What spawned this? Dread Central: What came first when you were first conceptualizing Manhunt? Plot or characters? We caught up with Gretchen Felker-Martin for a chat about Manhunt, queer and trans representation in horror, and her upcoming novel, Cuckoo. Manhunt rocked the horror lit scene, with readers and critics praising the author for her evocative prose, fresh take on the apocalypse survival genre, and beautifully crafted and unflinchingly grotesque scenes of carnage. Together, the group fights for survival against both rabid cis men and a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) militia group that is systematically hunting and killing trans people. Joining the group, albeit reluctantly, is Robbie, a trans man who, up until this point, has been lone wolf-ing it.

Let us use the occasion of this international day of action to be done with lean-in feminism and to build in its place a feminism for the 99, a grass-roots, anti-capitalist feminisma feminism in solidarity with working women, their families, and their allies throughout the world. In general, then, liberal feminism supplies the perfect alibi for neoliberalism. In that world, “feminism” risks becoming a trending hashtag and a vehicle of self-promotion, deployed less to liberate the many than to elevate the few. Its love affair with individual advancement equally permeates the world of social-media celebrity, which also confuses feminism with the ascent of individual women. “Liberal feminism’s ethos converges not only with corporate mores but also with supposedly “transgressive” currents of neoliberal culture. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The King's embryonic city appeals to Alan's longing to be present "at the beginning of something", to enact part of the pioneering that's enshrined in American mythology. ![]() A sense that he's never quite marked distinctive literary territory persists, but while his seventh book exhibits his versatility again, it should confirm Eggers' position among America's leading contemporary writers.Īlan is convinced that his experiences pale by comparison to his Irish ancestors' arrival in the US and his macho father's heroics in the Second World War. His last book, 2009's Zeitoun, a non-fiction account of a Muslim man's traumatic experiences in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans, demonstrated Eggers' gift for telling real people's stories in unobtrusive prose.

Lords's career didn't end in 1986 she's gone on to star and costar in several films and TV shows, including John Waters's Cry BabyĪnd Married with Children, and has enjoyed serious success as a singer. ![]() ![]() By her early teens, Lords was hanging out with the wild crowd at school and was preyed upon by her mother's boyfriend, who arranged for her first modeling sessions, which led to her posing as a PenthouseĬenterfold at age 15 (she had false ID) and then to her meteoric career in porn, which crashed when the FBI stepped in and turned her into a poster child for sex abuse. Born Nora Kuzma in 1968 in Ohio, she writes, she was raised in poverty and abused emotionally by an alcoholic father and raped at age 10 by a 16-year-old.
