The Butcher of Black Bottom

The Butcher of Black Bottom

If you’re a fan of Killadelphia then you won’t be disappointed by my substack horror epic dubbed The Butcher of Black Bottom. Argentinian artist Germán Erramouspe is handling the art on this one.

The Butcher of Black Bottom is a slasher horror set in 1920’s Detroit, a time when the city is seeing a large influx of African American migrants from the South and racial tensions are reaching a boiling point. To make things worse, a titular serial killer is on the loose and bringing that boil to raging fire.

The Butcher of Black Bottom speaks to the struggle to find racial harmony in a post-Civil War America, where the migration of blacks from the South meets an industrializing North wrestling with its own issues. As one might imagine finding peace at this time was no easy chore.

Part one and two are out on my Substack channel, Dark Apocrypha Presents.

The Butcher of Black Bottom will also be going to print next year as a Zombie Love Studio’s book.
