The second Magtone story, “Clouds Like Memories, Words Like Stones” is appearing in the pages of WEIRDBOOK #39, on sale now.
Magtone of Karakutas is a poet-thief and a reluctant wizard, the lone survivor of a doomed metropolis. On his trusty flying carpet he soars across a world of lost kingdoms and fading civilizations, ever in search of Odaza, City of Walking Gods. Along the way he meets quite a few interesting folks–in “Clouds” these include a noble tribe of lion-folk and a raging dragon older than mountains.
Each Magtone story is self-contained, but reading them in order will give you the sense of a bigger picture. The first one, “The Veneration of Evil in the Kingdom of Ancient Lies” appeared two issues back in WEIRDBOOK #37.

John, do you know if Weirdbook 39 will be released as an ebook?
Hi, Willliam! Yes, Wildside always releases two versions of each issue–one paperback, one electronic. Sometimes it takes a week or two for the second version. Keep checking the Wildside site and the ebook book version of #39 should appear there soon: http://wildsidepress.com/weirdbook/
Cheers!
I did contact the editor yesterday wondering why the ebook wasn’t out yet. He send me a reply saying that he contacted the publisher that day enquiring about the same thing. His enquiry must have worked or it was just a coincidence but today I purchased and downloaded the ebook. Looking forward to reading your story and the others.
Excellent! Enjoy the issue…
