An Afrofuturist horror-comedy about gentrification, hip hop, and cultural appropriation.
Once a thriving working class neighborhood on Chicagoâ€™s south side, the â€œBottomyardsâ€ is now the definition of urban blight. When an aspiring fashion designer named Darla and her image-obsessed friend, Cynthia, descend upon the neighborhood in search of cheap rent, they soon discover something far more seductive and sinister lurking behind the walls of their new home. Like a cross between Jordan Peeleâ€™s Get Out and John Carpenterâ€™s The Thing, Daniels and Passmoreâ€™s BTTM FDRS (pronounced â€œbottomfeedersâ€) offers a vision of horror that is gross and gory in all the right ways. At turns funny, scary, and thought provoking, it unflinchingly confronts the monstersâ€•both metaphoric and realâ€•that are displacing cultures in urban neighborhoods today. Full-color illustrations throughout.
