Little Visitor & Other Abductions HC

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

"These relentlessly uncanny stories will get under your skin and curl up there. Szym's work perfectly exemplifies the kind of unfettered auteurism that makes alternative comics so damn exciting."-- Ezra Claytan Daniels, author of Upgrade Soul and BTTM FDRS

"Adam Szym's Little Visitor and Other Abductions recalls some of the very best stories in weird fiction, easily finding a place among greats like Robert Aickman and Brian Evenson in their expertise at subtle chills. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone filtering the tradition of weird horror through the expressive medium of comics better than Adam!"-- Trevor Henderson, author and illustrator of Scarewaves

"Creepy, engrossing, and thought-provoking! Like listening to an old-time radio show while driving a lonely stretch of highway at night. If you're a fan of The Twilight Zone or Black Mirror and don't mind reading with a pervasive sense of dread, this collection of three stories is for you! I loved how each of the stories gives you plenty of clues about what's going on but never outrightly spells it out, leaving you eagerly assembling the pieces as you read and re-read. A multitude of real-world issues and associations abound, making it both a smart and eerie sci-fi read that sticks with you long after you've closed the cover." -- Brynn, Content Book Store, Northfield, MN
