Signifying Nothing: A Tale Told by an Idiot

By C S Brown

Welcome to Slarth, where using magic makes you stupid. Somebody needs to fix that.

The Slarth School for Sublime Studies in Sophisticated Sorcery and Spellcasting has never been normal. A half-human ghost roams the campus. A troll is hopelessly in love. A middle-aged dragon still lives in his mother's basement. Weird is just Tuesday here.

But something worse than weird is happening: magic itself is draining people's intelligence.

Enter the last people anyone would trust with saving magic: a school nurse, a boy blessed by an immortal chicken, and some friends they pick up along the way. Their only lead is a talisman that may not even exist - and someone is willing to burn the school down to make sure they never find it.

If you love Terry Pratchett's absurdist wit, Douglas Adams's cosmic nonsense, and the deeply held belief that the least qualified person in the room is always the one who gets the job - welcome home. You're going to fit right in at SSSSSSS.
