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.

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.

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.
