Heads and Tales is a strange, darkly comic, and unsettling collection of political observations, poetry, and short fiction-bound together by the fractured mind of Charlie Braeburn, a writer obsessed with masks, monsters, love, madness, and the thin line between performance and self.
Presented through introductions, poems, surreal tales, satirical fragments, and disturbing confessions, the book moves from supernatural bargains and doomed romance to grotesque transformations, political decay, digital exploitation, and the quiet tragedy of a man trying to understand what remains beneath the personas people create to survive.
Humorous, bleak, philosophical, and bizarre, Heads and Tales invites readers into a world where identity is unstable, society is ravenous, and every tale asks the same haunting question: what happens when the mask becomes the face?
