Regardless of how you got here, welcome to Bothersome Books, a small self-publishing imprint specialising in experimental or difficult to categorise fiction. Well… predominantly the works of Essex-based writer, artist and designer Carl Doherty.

My darkly comic fantasy Welcome to The Fold is out now, as is Emily Babb’s haunting dystopian novel These Unnatural Men. I am currenly busy working on my second novel, vegan(Vn), graphic novel anthology Behind the Waves: Five Short Stories About Depression and its conjoined webcomic, Tomorrow Will Be Worse. All three will hopefully be made available by the end of this year… though I say such things every damn year. Please follow me to find out!
