Detroit, 1937. Seventeen-year-old Daquarius Washington knows the weight of struggle. With his mother working two jobs just to keep food on the table and bills piling up like autumn leaves, the promise of easy money sounds like an answered prayer.

When his best friend Raheem brings word of an exclusive party in Black Bottom-Detroit's most vibrant and dangerous neighborhood-Daquarius finds himself drawn into a world that seems too good to be true. The host, a charismatic man named Julius Turner, offers opportunities that could lift them out of poverty overnight. But in a basement that pulses with otherworldly music, Daquarius discovers that some doors, once opened, lead to places from which few return.

The shadow city calls with promises of wealth, power, and everything his heart desires. But at what cost?

Trapped in an impossible Detroit where two moons hang in purple skies and success comes without sacrifice, Daquarius must choose between the seductive comfort of illusion and the harsh beauty of truth. With the help of his girlfriend Sade's warnings echoing in his memory and his grandfather's pocket watch as his only guide, he faces the most important decision of his life.

Some paths lead to everything you think you want. Others lead home.

The Black Bottom Shift is a supernatural coming-of-age tale that explores the timeless choice between easy answers and authentic living. Set against the rich backdrop of Depression-era Detroit, this story reminds us that the most heroic thing we can do is choose the harder path-the real one.

Perfect for readers who enjoyed The Devil in a Blue Dress, Lovecraft Country, or The Water Will Come.
