Little Visitor & Other Abductions
By Adam Szym
🛸 SCI-FI HORROR & GRAPHIC NARRATIVE
An eerie triptych of otherworldly novellas exploring the negligence and malice behind the phenomenon of alien abduction.
Extended Synopsis
From the haunting imagination of cartoonist Adam Szym comes Little Visitor & Other Abductions, a trilogy of graphic novellas that blend cosmic horror with the uncanny. The collection opens with the recount of a doomed film production where tragedy strikes an obscure cast and crew. It transitions into the story of a young girl searching for her father in the desert, only to stumble upon a surreal, otherworldly cocktail party that defies human logic.
The final thread follows two strangers nurturing violent impulses in a lonely child as a village harvest festival approaches. Connecting these disparate tales is the horrific theme of abduction—not just as a physical act by extraterrestrials, but as a byproduct of human malice and societal negligence. Including the Ignatz Award–nominated A Cordial Invitation and the new tale Frolicker, this hardcover edition is a masterclass in atmospheric tension and visual storytelling.
