Praise for "Everything Fun is Illegal or Immoral":
Charlie Chitty has enough sense of humor and stylistic range for a dozen different writers that it's easy to overlook what a quintessentially sardonic and damning cultural observer he is. Everything Fun is Illegal or Immoral is as much a lampooning of performative self-importance as it is an intimate and humane act of self-introspection. When there's nothing you can't do, you do it all. Chitty embodies lust for life in a world that backhands all sincerity. Here is your medicine. It tickles and it burns." - Manuel Marrero, author of Thousands of Lies and Not Yet
"Told with trademark British wit and charm, Charlie Chitty's poetry chapbook couples sadness with humor, defeat with resilience, and the supposed apocalypse of 2020 with faith in the regenerative power of creation. At once a clear-eyed look at the mental maze that is hyper modernity, as well as a fantastical interpretation of several literary genres, Mr Chitty's work is an excellent addition to the growing corpus of underground and populist lit written during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. I enjoyed it so much that I coughed." Benjamin Welton, author of Sick Inside the Citadel and PANIC
"Every time I see a submission from Charlie Chitty in the inbox, I do three Hail Marys. His short stories deftly meld horror and comedy, like a Stephen King novel as interpreted by the BBC World Service and banned from the airwaves under threat of FCC fines. This book will curl your toes and make your diaphragm sore from laughing. Don't read before bed." - Matt Forney, Terror House Press
