Stickless is a dark fantasy novella of absurd and surreal dread.

In a world where the clothes and accessories you are born wearing determine your social status and worth, Starla is one of the stickless, the lowest of the low. She has been magically banished to the mythical Vanish—a winding, eons-old prison littered with the corpses of its previous prisoners. Deposited with a misfit group of unfriendly companions in which she is seen as the most inferior member, she must fight to escape both devastating traps and deadly foes. But if she is to unlock the riddle of the Vanish and the mystery of the ancient goddess, the Abstract Woman, she must also face the dark, absurd prejudices of her companions and herself.
