BTTM FDRS
BTTM FDRS | Ben Passmore, Ezra Claytan Daniels
3 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
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 FDRS (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 monsters?both metaphoric and real?that are displacing cultures in urban neighborhoods today.

This graphic novel of urban horror, or gentrification horror as Lavalle calls it, starts with Darla moving into a building in Chicago's south side. Darla, a struggling young artist with conviction, soon wonders what exactly is going on in her building after encountering strange figures, stranger graffiti & possibly even stranger urban legends surrounding her building. This was a fun, albeit gross, graphic novel with social commentary that may

vivastory not be entirely original but is evergreen nonetheless. There were some fun easter eggs in this one (ie The Candyman poster).

This was a quirky little graphic novel. It was so bizarre that I LOVED it. A new spin on gentrification that tickled me. ? The "Bottom yards" was once a thriving working class neighborhood, but now with places renting cheaply it's gone downhill from the area it used to be. Something more sinister is lurking in the shadows. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was my #BookSpin #DoubleSpin yay! ?

Hoping to finish Alexander Hamilton and read this “gentrification horror” comic book set in Chicago before the end of the year! #wintergames #merryreaders

Amiable Good luck! I read “Hamilton” this year, too. To be honest, I preferred Chernow‘s “Washington: A Life.” Hoping to get to “Grant” in the next year. 5y
aartichapati @Amiable good to know! I have both of those on my list, I think Chernow has a really engaging writing style. Based on how he describes Washington in this book, I think it would be interesting to see the relationship and events from that perspective. Also if he were to write about Jefferson! 5y
