Michael F Burry

Author of Beautiful Broken Things, a collection of stories about trying to hold yourself together with emotional duct tape.

Beneath the surface plots, many of my stories are really howls of middle-aged angst against an incomprehensible world. That might sound bleak - and some of it is - but there’s also humour, quiet hope, and a deep affection for flawed people muddling through.

I write in a deceptively simple style: clear and accessible, yet layered with memory, regret, and the things we don’t say. If you like stories that leave a bruise - and maybe a scar-shaped smile - you’re in the right place. Welcome aboard.
