Bottomfeeder

by B. H. Fingerman

A man can go missing in New York City. A life can disappear, teeth can sharpen, skin can go pale, eyes can reject the sun. People can be human one day, a vampire the next. Set in the Gotham of prostitutes, junkies, and lonely hearts, Bottomfeeder tells the story of Philip, a smart-ass in a dead-end job, whose life takes an unusual turn after he tangles with a vampire. Now, spurred by a bloodlust stronger than his humanity, he haunts the abandoned streets alone, trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy while looking for prey.

Like his entertaining, empathetic comics and graphic novels, Bottomfeeder displays Fingerman’s unerring ear for dialogue and spot-on portrayal of New York’s urban subculture—-drawn here in words rather than images—-that have won him legions of fans.
