The author of Manhunt and Cuckoo selected Christophe Gans's retelling of the tale of Beast of Gevaudan that's kind of like if they made a French version of National Treasure and Bigfoot is real and he's working for the illuminati, but it's somehow still strangely boring and long.https://www.patreon.com/scumbelievable2024-07-281h 18

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.
