In her horror novel, a trans author has provoked uproar for “murdering” JK Rowling with a fire.
The Harry Potter author has received death threats for speaking out about her belief that “biological sex is genuine” during the trans debate.
Gretchen Felker-novel Martin’s Manhunt depicts the famous author’s fake death in a Scottish castle fire, prompting criticism that the book is “misogynistic.”
“If you’re sick of gender plague novels written by transphobic dips***s, try my novel MANHUNT, written by a trans woman for a trans audience,” Felker-Martin tweeted about the scene in the novel. Trans dykes fall in love and murder TERFs, feral men maraud across the bush, J.K. Rowling dies, etc.”
According to the MailOnline, the plan also features a warship dubbed the Galbraith in tribute to JK Rowling’s alias Robert Galbraith.
While some have complimented the book, Amazon was also flooded with comments condemning its “hate for women.”
One reviewer wrote: “Misogynistic nonsense created by a woman-hater.” Instigation of violence against women.” others added: “This item should be deleted from Amazon’s online store.” It’s revolting that such blatant anti-feminism by a guy is allowed to be peddled.
“I have no idea about how this was published in the first place. The existence of this book demonstrates once again that misogyny is OK as long as one identifies with a particular group. If you want to read about a disturbed individual’s violent sexual fantasies directed towards women, this book is for you!”
“This is a book about women’s abuse and nothing else. A misogynist’s porn fantasy.”
Positive reviews responded to internet criticism of the novel. “This book is being hammered with one-star reviews because trans woman authors it,” one commenter stated. The labels “misogyny” and “women-hating” are bandied about because cis women can’t get over the fact that a trans woman wrote one of the best dystopian novels of the twentieth century.”
“A large publisher unafraid to publish something like this is exactly what the genre needs,” another wrote.
The manhunt is published by Tor Nightfire and is available on Amazon as a paperback or an ebook.
The spokesman for JK Rowling has declined to comment.
