I loved ‘Transmuted’ by Eve Harms, a very weird and effective horror novella that mixed horror themes with insight into the trans experience. When the author offered me an ARC of her new novella, co-written with Mariah Darling, I was delighted to accept it. 
‘Chasers’ has a lot of the strengths of ‘Transmuted’ - it’s gripping and its horror content made it very accessible, but it also discusses (interestingly and effectively) what it’s like to be a trans woman. The story follows Lenora, a trans musician who moves into a new apartment in a building that feels threatening from the start. She finds a peephole in the wall that reveals some very strange goings on in the flat next door. Things go from bad to worse (in a good way, this is a horror story after all) and the book does a great job of tapping into the paranoia of city living. 
It’s a book that is deeply unsettling at times, but hard to look away from. Partly that’s because it’s a gripping piece of suspense fiction, but it’s also because the description of trans existence is so heartfelt. It’s moving, appalling, extreme and always readable. 
I felt the pace faltered a bit at the halfway point, but the final third more than makes up for that.
