Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an early copy of this book.
The book contains three stories with the central theme being abduction. The first story "Little Visitor" was my favorite with its documentary style of storytelling. The second story "A Cordial Invitation" felt like it dragged on and I was waiting for it to end. The third story "Frolicker" left me confused and I think it should it have been as long as "A Cordial Invitation" in order for things to be made a little clearer.
I'm a fan of the illustration style and I think the book overall would work better in hard copy over an ebook format.
The book concludes with a behind-the-scenes section written by the author that I really enjoyed.

Little Visitor & Other Abductions brings you three dark and unsettling tales that will leave you with far more questions than answers. In these stories abduction does not lead to adventure but is a reminder that we live in a cruel and uncaring universe. I would recommend this to those who love an upsetting atmospheric read and don't care if nothing is ever clearly explained.

This book is weird in the best way. Adam Szym brings together three unsettling stories-one about a cursed film production, another about a girl who stumbles on something alien in the desert, and a third about a strange harvest festival with even stranger influences. The art is fantastic-dreamlike, expressive, and just the right amount of creepy. There’s a quiet, eerie vibe running through the whole thing that really sticks with you. If you're into *The Twilight Zone*, *The X-Files*, or just like your horror a little off-kilter and thoughtful, this is absolutely worth checking out.

I have to admit that I did not finish it. It has a very unsettling start. I kept wondering if something really twisted was going to happen, so I could not finish it. I am so sorry, but I was not expecting something like this.

Thank you to NeGalley for my Advanced Reader's Copy of this book.
It's always a little hard to review a book with 3 very different stories in it. The first story was 5 stars, the second story was 3 stars, and the last story confused me. But for anyone who likes a good X-files like story, this is a good book to read.

The style and atmosphere of this graphic story collection could be described as Junji Ito meets X Files. But it shouldn't. It is a disappointment because I would have been obsessed had this worked.
The art style and the vibes are there, but the storytelling did not work for me. Each story had leaps and gaps that made it feel like the author was trying to lean into the Unknown, but instead, it just resulted in a confused reader. I felt like I was missing something important at the conclusion of each story.
I would be curious to maybe try something else from Szym, because I feel like the potential is there. But this may well just be an author that doesn't work for me.

Little Visitor & Other Abductions is a delightfully oddball graphic novel that delivers three bite-sized alien abduction stories with just the right mix of weird, witty, and wonderfully eerie. Think The Twilight Zone meets The X-Files—but with even cooler art and less commitment.
The illustrations are super cool and packed with personality, perfectly matching the quirky, sci-fi vibes of each tale. It’s original, easy to fly through, and makes extraterrestrial horror feel oddly charming. If you're into stories about little green men or just want a fun, fast read with great visuals, this one’s a no-brainer. Highly recommend for fans of the strange and speculative.

Thank you to Netgalley and Oni Press for providing a free of charge ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is a debut graphic novel from Adam Szym, collecting the Ignatz and Bram Stoker Award-nominated graphic novella “A Cordial Invitation” along with two other stories. Adam Szym’s black and white art compliments the darker tone of these three thought-provoking short tales.
Revolving around the subject of alien abductions, the fear of the unknown, and the fear of loss. These tales deal mainly with people’s response to the aliens, and how they impact on the lives they touch. These short tales are perfect for fans of the X-Files and Blue Book.

I really enjoyed this comic anthology. Centering around aliens, it definitely brings to mind the Twilight Zone or the X-Files, but it isn't derivative in any way. I loved the art style. Recommended!

Thanks to NetGalley for the free ARC! Very eerie and gross but beautiful. This set of four stories all focusing on changing selves were similarly theme but very different and will stick with me

Little Visitor and Other Abductions is a work that captures the interest with the appearance of its appearance, as well as with the situations and the atmosphere that surrounds all its content. A must read if you are looking for aliens and odd situations.
Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for this advanced reader's copy.

"Little Visitor and Other Abductions" by Adam Szym is a dark and unsettling comic about alien abductions. The comic has 3 different stories in it, and each is unique and intriguing. All three stories were surreal, and they made me think of the Twlight Zone and the X-files.
If you love aliens and weird scifi comics, you will love this comic!
Thank you, NetGalley and Oni Press, for the ARC of this comic.

Nice three stories collection. The first and second are really interesting and well composed, I really enjoyed them. The last one is more confusing, I believe that its length does more harm than good as only the last ten pages or so are actually interesting.
Overall an enjoyable reading, 2.5 stars.

I love any stories about aliens and this one did not disappoint! I came for the cover but stayed for the contents!!!

Thank you Oni Press and NetGalley for this arc.
This is slightly different to the usual graphic novels that I read but as someone who enjoyed the X Files I love a supernatural/alien story line and this was graphic short story collection worked for me.
The art style worked really well with the slightly odd and unusual stories adding to the atmosphere.
However, I did enjoy the first two stories more than the third. Possibly due to the pacing of the third one but overall a very enjoyable read that I would recommend.

This is a unique graphic novel that blends three stories interconnected with each other. The artwork is very simple, but appealing to the eye. It fits the story. A great little gift idea for older children and adults alike.

These three stories were well crafted and intriguing, and while I can see a lot of people loving them. They weren't for me.
It's purely a personal preference. I just found them a little too strange for my taste.
The first story was my favourite of the three, I thought it was a very interesting concept.
Overall it was just OK for me, but I think people who love strange sci-fi/horror stories will love this.
2.5/5

**3.5 stars**
This was a good 3 story graphic novel collection. I loved the first story, it’s a kind of alternative ET story. The second story was unnerving and creepy, poor Luisa and her Dad. But the third story was odd and I found very hard to follow. But overall a good alien themed graphic collection.
