    About this series

    Talus is an Anthology of five Short Stories from the pen of Caldon Mull and spans four decades of writing, one short story from each decade, and a Novella. Talus is the last volume of these four decades in The Smithereens series. The Stories include Portmanteau and Jamais Vu, Dancers, Ifrit and Neid-Fire.
    The Stories in this volume are; Portmanteau: In the horror that is the Yemeni Civil War, Mahdi does his best... One step at a a time. Jamais Vu: A young farming couple out to make good, just like any other normal couple except for the fact you are farming on Pluto in the 25th Century. Dancers: Reece and Durant are both haunted by PTSD, their own sexual attraction and a Revenant over the color-line in Petite Apartheid South Africa, as they investigate the murder of their black Drag Queen friend. Ifrit: In a climatically hostile planet Earth in the 28th Century a struggling band of isolated survivors provide shelter for a stranded explorer. How different are we from each other in the future? Neid-Fire: Two cousins flee an uncertain future to relocate to their Ancestral Home to discover that their family history hides deeper and stranger secrets than they ever thought possible. The Smithereens will continue into a new decade and a new chapter in 2021.

The Stories include: Inferno, Fragments of Morning, Lawman, No heart for the matter; and The Folk and the Shellmen. Inferno: Trouble brews in the idyllic matriarchy. How any society deals with its dissidents is a measure of its maturity, and power and ideals are often uneasy bedfellows. Fragments of Morning: An Ode to Insomnia. What keeps you awake at night? Lawman: The crime-beleaguered city of eGoli in the near future has one sentinel; Ndou, the Lawman. No Heart for the Matter: Myths being what they are, are often simply accepted.
