You are listening to a Clark's World Magazine podcast with your host Kate Baker.

The piece is titled The Osteomancer's Son and is our fifth short story for February 2015.

Our author is Greg Van Ekeout.

He is the author of several novels, including California Bones, Pacific Fire, Norse Code,

and the middle grade books, Kid versus Squid, and the boy at the end of the world.

He lives in San Diego. You can find him at his website,

writing and snacks.com. Our narrator, once again, we're very happy to have him back, is Alistair Stewart. Host of Pseudopod. I highly suggest if you're looking for something really

creepy to listen to, you head over to Pseudopod and download podcasts.

You can find Alistair on Twitter at Alistair Stewart

or on his website Alistair Stewart.com.

And before we begin today's story, just a quick shout out to those of you who

was supported this magazine in whatever way that you possibly could,

whether it's through Patreon, in whatever way that you possibly could,

whether it's through Patreon Joy Rye,

which I see is creeping up very slowly and surely,

so thank you if you've taken the time

to go over to either of those

and pledge your support through monthly pledges or if you've

bought a subscription or you've actually donated or bought an anthology at one of the tables that Neil is set up at various conventions.

You guys rock.

And just a reminder, if just 10% of the Clarks World listeners donated or supported the magazine in any way they possibly could,

this would become a full-time job for Neil, and we, the staff, would get paid a little bit more.
