If you're a fan of classic sci-fi shows like The X-Files and The Twilight Zone and are looking for a book that can scratch that itch, Little Visitor & Other Abductions may be just what the doctor ordered. This graphic novel brings together three of cartoonist Adam Szym's alien abduction tales - "A Cordial Invitation," "Little Visitor," and "Frolicker" - into one creepy package.
With Little Visitor & Other Abductions in stores now, IGN can exclusively debut a new preview of "A Cordial Invitation." Check it out in the slideshow gallery below:
Little Visitor & Other Abductions is written and drawn by Szym. The book is published by Oni Press and distributed by Simon & Schuster. Here's the official description of the book:
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.
Little Visitor & Other Abductions is available in bookstores and comic shops now. You can order a copy on Amazon.
