Charlie Boy writes fiction shaped by control, performance and unease — where surrealism meets a dry, British restraint.

Charlie Boy is a writer of literary fiction. His work has appeared in Resurrection Magazine, En Bloc and Dreams & Nightmares. He is currently at work on a long-form novel entitled Theatre For Birds.

Selected Work:

Mythic literary fiction exploring grief, language, and the fragile machinery of being alive.

Novel: Theatre For Birds

A young magpie narrates the quiet collapse of a human known only as The In-between, while contending with family, instinct, and the abyss beneath their tree. Part fable, part psychological elegy, Theatre For Birds explores how language becomes salvation — or surrender.

Substack:
In Conversation with Birds

Weekly essays and short fiction exploring attention, myth, and the strange theatre of the everyday — set in a park that never quite ends.

Poetry:

Poems that hold the sacred and the ridiculous in the same frame — exploring fatherhood, myth, mental fracture, and the quiet violence of being alive.
Selected poems have appeared in Resurrection Magazine, En Bloc, and Dreams & Nightmares.

Zine:
Dr Sadly’s Euphoria Emporium

An illustrated literary zine blending folklore, satire, and suburban mythology.
