Genre: Short Fiction / Short Story Collection
Some names sound like they mean something. Some stories have no right to be as good as they are. Meliptimous Taggle and Other Tales of Ill Repute is a collection of both.
Fourteen stories from CD Damitio — philosophical, dark, funny, and occasionally deeply strange. Genesis retold with God as collective consciousness. A Hawaiian legend about the people who disappeared. A Moroccan cab driver running his own private con. A one-page meditation from a skydiving instructor who may or may not pull the cord. A 1940s noir detective hired by Howard Hughes. An alien coming-of-age story told entirely in internet slang.
These stories were written in caves, on Google+, in Morocco, on the North Shore of Oahu, and in the broken machinery of a stockbroker’s conscience.
The title story is three pages long. Meliptimous Taggle himself appears briefly, winks at the narrator, and leaves. You will not forget him.
For readers of Bukowski, Vonnegut, and anyone who has ever started a story and decided to see where it goes — even when it goes somewhere they probably shouldn’t.
