Donald Boyd was an Australian author of Pulp Fiction. His literary and artistic work was published in a variety of Australian small press magazines. Approximately fifty stories and articles credited to him appeared in publications of the weird and fantastic such as The Mentor, Shoggoth, Daarke Worlde, Severed head, Avatar, Prohibited Matter, and Masque Noir. These magazines flourished in the 1980s and 1990s. Boyd was also involved in small press publishing in Sydney, and 'Some of these magazines were pseudo-scientific, concerned with the occult, strange sightings, prehistoric survivals, UFOs, esoteric knowledge, supernatural investigation, the relics of surviving elder cults, and science fiction space yarns.'
