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.

Right of withdrawal for consumers
(A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed).
Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Buchpark, Trebbin, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
