    “From Sinoun of Smelling Trees fame, this is a tiny zine, in color, with strange collage art and strange super-short stories, fairy-tale like. Evocative and a little spooky at the beginning, thematically repetitive as you go along–it’s all about human disappearance, as the subtitle suggests. An interesting little experience, imbued with sinoun’s personal eccentricity.”

  • Reviewed by Echo Zine Distro:
    “Measuring just 2×3 inches, stolshsb consists of eight surreal stories and details of a collage (in full color) created by the zine author’s ex-partner. The images are arresting and atmospheric, though they seem to me almost like a tease–I wanted to see the full collage in its full size after reading small tasks… the stories, on the other hand, are terrific. Normally I’m not a fan of short-short fiction, but these are very imaginative, and the best ones are quite haunting.”
