Carl Doherty has written about movies, video games, comic books and literature for almost a decade, forging ill-informed critiques for a variety of websites, blogs and publications. He currently blogs at www.shelfabuse.com, where he passionately advocates creator-owned comics and storytelling.
Carl currently resides on the murky, Lovecraftian shores of Southend-on-Sea, making a quick buck as a web designer, graphic designer, digital artist and copywriter. Welcome to the Fold is his debut novel, and the standalone first instalment in the epic six-book comedy fantasy series The Last and the First. An unrelated second novel, vegan(Vn), and graphic novel project Behind the Waves will follow in 2019.
