Description

The cast and crew of an obscure film recount a tragedy that occurred during its doomed production. A young girl searches for her father in the darkness of the desert and stumbles upon an otherworldly cocktail party. Two strangers nurture violent thoughts in a bitter, lonely child as his village's harvest festival nears. Connecting these three stories is one horrific theme . . .

From cartoonist and illustrator Adam Szym comes a triptych of otherworldly science fiction horror stories about alien abduction and the negligence and malice that allows it to happen. Including the Ignatz Award–nominated A Cordial Invitation, Little Visitor, and a brand-new tale—Frolicker—this uncanny trilogy of graphic novellas is perfect for fans of The Twilight Zone, The X-Files, and all things beyond our understanding.

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

"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.

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.

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.

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.
