Jane is sick of her dead-end life in the suburbs, and desperate for a change. Her old friend Natalie made it out, living in Japan as a fashion model. Now, as Natalie comes back to town on business, Jane sees a way for her friend to do her a favor... whether she likes it or not. A haunting portrait of millennial alienation, tinged with body horror and Greek tragedy, glamour and terror - Bottled is a gripping debut from Australian graphic novelist Chris Gooch.

Industry Reviews

A finalist for the Ledger Award for excellence in Australian comics.

"Chris Gooch twists the knife in the gap between persona and self... Bottled is a slow burn of a comic where the betrayals and the dread cut deep." - Katie Skelly, author of Nurse Nurse and My Pretty Vampire

"Gooch lingers over camera lenses, the arc of a knife through space, the pause before someone makes a fateful decision, and other liminal moments in a life hurtling towards destruction.... Devastating." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"A haunting exploration of fame, friendship, and public image... a glimpse into the darkness that lies within each of us-in some cases, barely below the surface." - Under the Radar (Best of 2017)
