Publisher Marketing: THE MOST HOLY DAY OF THE TRANSSEXUAL CALENDAR by Nora Hikari is an investigation into explosive force and cataclysm. Fists collide, arteries burst, beam lasers flare, and fusion weapons permanently scar the landscape with their bitterness. This is a collection concerned with trans grief, the harrowing consequences of living in the midst of an era of boiling transphobic structural violence and anti-trans hysteria. Hikari paints a distorted mirror-world, a cyberpunk hellscape where machinery and meat fuse together at the seams and innocent women are turned into cyborg horses, slaughtered for the entertainment of the "shapely kingship"; a world where "egregores, or emergent consciousnesses, or deepweb gods" arise to hunt down those who would dare challenge the transphobic ruling order.
