Woke NPR is blasted over gushing review for controversial transgender author's violent horror novel which depicts JK Rowling being burned alive at her home
Daily Mail ^ | 24 April 2022 | James Gordon

NPR is coming under fire after it released a gushing review over a twisted horror novel written by a transgender author which gleefully depicts JK Rowling's violent death in a fire.

Gretchen Felker-Martin's novel, Manhunt, has sparked fury over scenes in which 'terfs' (so-called trans-exclusionary radical feminists) including Rowling, meet grisly ends.

And now NPR - which has come under fire for its increasingly woke and biased content - has found itself in hot water over journalist Liam McBain's favorable write-up.

'To be upfront, Manhunt is not for everyone,' his review begins. 'It is gory, and brutal, and sickened me more than any other horror novel I've read in recent memory. I am sure it will challenge many trans readers (like myself) as much as it will challenge cis readers. I mean all this as a sincere compliment to Felker-Martin's work.

'Manhunt is a paragon of body horror, and its numerous sex scenes are no exception. The prose is simultaneously erotic and gruesome. Felker-Martin writes into dissociation and the dysphoric insecurities of her characters,' McBain explains.

Felker-Martin’s novel Manhunt exacts a deeply unpleasant fictional revenge and the death of Rowling crushed in a burned down Scottish castle lit by the hands of trans activists. But NPR's review described the plot as 'grounded'.

'Even in places where it stretched the imagination, the book was grounded in the bodies of Felker-Martin's protagonists and in the logistics of their survival,' McBain wrote.

'Disgustingly rendered and brilliantly imagined, Manhunt was gripping as much as it was repulsive. It's rare to read a horror novel that truly tests my limits in a (mostly) pleasurable way — and Manhunt delivers. It's a challenge, and one I hope more readers take,' NPR's reviewer concludes.

The left has moved so far into insanity, that they fantasize about murdering people who oppose their grooming of children for eventual adult/child sex.

How crazy is this. These peace loving radicals lecture us about how love trumps hate and all that. They are just fine with depictions of the violence they purport to hate, as long it is aimed at perceived enemies of their grievance groups, such as all these “LGBT etc” peoples.

And these are often the people holding signs that say:
“Love Wins!!”

Being a writer of horror fiction is one thing, but
fantasizing the gory death of a living person, and using her name is wrong from many perspectives.

All it takes is one low IQ, low ego person with the character of a Boll Weivel, and he/she/it/they/ze may go after that famous person in real life using real weapons.

There should be an EO to cut federal funding for NPR along with so many other unnecessary agencies and orgs.

I know, right?

But it never happens.

Remember when Mitt Romney proposed cutting funding to PBS, and the liberals said he wanted to kill Big Bird. And then Mitt was put on the defensive, saying he loved Big Bird. The way these issues are presented and debated, we just haven’t been able to make things happen.

Conservatives have been asking for this since Reagan was in office and it’s never happened.

J. K. Rowling has turned out to be both courageous and admirable.

Defund NPR and sue them to get back every taxpayer dollar they ever got. The people who run the show are and have always been partisan hacks. Lots of good people have worked for NPR, in fear of speaking their mind. It’s time for these info-thugs to go.

If real conservatives control the next Congress, can we finally end tax-payer funded Public Bull S*** ?

Not unless McConnell and McCarthy step aside.

Arm up people.

JK Rowling isnt even as normal as you are. And they act like this towards her. Shes sympathetic to the alphabet people and is totally cool and supportive of gay men and women perverts.

How do you think they’ll treat you?

Look at how they view parents now. The very same people they indoctrinated for the large part 20 years ago...

The left has always been one to fawn over the most sickening, evil, and depraved literature and art with accolades of “brilliant”, “courageous”, and such.

There’s nothing brilliant or courageous about sadomasochism.

It’s demonically evil to the core and any piece of work that gets that kind of glowing review by the left immediately goes on my do not read list because I know it’s not worth even using as toilet paper.

It’s because the non-left has let the left define the narrative for far too long and not slapped them and their stupid word games down.

The left is on the offensive and puts everyone else who opposes them on the defensive, and wimps that they are, everyone else lets them instead of giving it right back at them.

That’s what I love about Trump and DeSantis for example. They put the left on the defensive and put the left into meltdown after meltdown.

NPR describes the book as gruesome and repulsive, and we’re supposed to believe he liked the book?
That tranny author has no morals. Gruesome sex scenes? Why would anybody read that garbage? Why did he write it? He better get some serious therapy to discover what child sex abuse (CSA) he’s dissociating.

It’s ironic considering just a few years ago JKR was considered a paragon of the left for her support of gay rights, feminism and other lefty causes. Then the Trans thing comes along and she’s says “hold up a minute maybe we should think about this one.” and suddenly she is Donald Trump in a skirt to the left. Just goes to show that on the left you MUST walk in lockstep with everything they demand, if you disagree with even 1%, you are no better in their mind than Putin or Hitler.

In addition to evil and demented, i suspect this would be an extremely tedious read.

Characters hunt down and kill TERFs.
TERF is shorthand for ‘trans-exclusionary radical feminists’ — the highly derogatory term used by trans rights activists for anyone, but almost exclusively women — who insists that biological sex is real.


The psychopath that wrote this wants to do this in real life. He wants to kill people that tell the truth.
