description: An Afrofuturist horror-comedy about gentrification hip hop and cultural appropriation. Once a thriving working class neighborhood on Chicagos south side the Bottomyards 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 Peeles Get Out and John Carpenters The Thing  Daniels and Passmores BTTM FDR S (pronounced bottomfeeders) 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 monstersboth metaphoric and realthat are displacing cultures in urban neighborhoods today. Full-color illustrations throughout.
