SOMETHING HUNTS PEOPLE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN IN... LITTLE GIRLS
PORTLAND, OR, 09/25/2018 — Image Comics is pleased to announce an eerie, hauntingly original graphic novel, LITTLE GIRLS, by debut creators Nicholas Aflleje and Sarah DeLaine, set to hit shelves in March 2019.
In LITTLE GIRLS, readers meet Sam, who has been an outsider all her life. That might have been the case even if her father hadn’t dragged her all around the globe, but it sure didn’t help. Every year, another school and another word for foreigner. Why would things be any different in Harar, Ethiopia? Well, for one thing, there’s Lielet—an outspoken and rebellious local girl who has all the makings of a lifelong friend. Then there is the city itself—a crossroad of cultures and traditions woven together through time that make it feel like anything’s possible. Also, there’s something hunting people on the outskirts of town…
"At their age, Sam and Lielet are confronted with so many scary, new things that they don't have to stop and think about being brave, because they're brave all the time, even when facing down literal monsters together," said Aflleje.
"I think most people can relate to just not fitting in at some point in their lives, like you'll never meet someone you truly get along with," DeLaine added. "But if you somehow inexplicably do, you might suddenly realize you really want to make sure that person isn't eaten."
As the disappearances start piling up, Sam and Lielet decide they might be the only ones willing to do anything about it. But as these two young friends bravely strike out into the dark on an exciting new adventure, they soon find that the night has teeth.
LITTLE GIRLS, OGN (ISBN: 978-1-5343-1059-9) hits comics shops on Wednesday, March 26th and bookstores on Tuesday April 2nd. It can be pre-ordered via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Indiebound, and Indigo.

Little girls
Everywhere I turn I can see them
Little girls
Little girls
Night and day
I eat, sleep and breathe them
I'm an ordinary woman
With feelings
I'd like a man to nibble on my ear
But I'll admit
No man has bit
So how come I'm the mother of the year?
How I hate
Little shoes
Little socks
And each little bloomer
I'd have cracked
Years ago
If it weren't for my
Sense of humor
Some women are dripping with diamonds
Some women are dripping with pearls
Lucky me! Lucky me!
Look at what I'm dripping with
Little girls
(Apparently there's also this one by Cameron Diaz...?)
Hee hee hee hee hee
Ha ha ha ha ha
Hee hee hee hee hee
Little girls, little girls
Everywhere I turn I can see them
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Ugh
Little girls, little girls
Night and day I eat, sleep, and breathe them
(Hee hee hee hee hee)
Get out of here
I should be anywhere but here
On the planes, on the stage or on TV
But I find myself here at the Snot House
Little shoes, little socks
Please kill me, I'm serious
Please kill me, I'm not singing, I'm asking
Locked in a cage with all the rats
I've slipped in the cracks
And now I'm stuck with the scraps and I can't seem to find my way back
Get me out, get me out of here
I'm ready to start 'em after all these years
I'm done with little girls
I wanna be someone in this world
Hee hee hee hee hee
Little girls,…
Well, little girls are children, and I don't trust children. They're here to replace us.
